We already have a perfectly good policy framework for datacenters: just charge them the negative externality costs. The problem is that they want datacenters now and repay external costs like electricity, water etc later because it takes 1 year to build a datacenter but 5 years to route power and water.
We already solve for this with economic credits but people just don’t trust these systems because of corruption and poor governance. The credits never trickle down to people who pay for externalities.
You’re making too much sense, Dr. Better stop before they turn their irrational hatred on you. You’re making it difficult for the slow-thinking Neo-Luddites to blindly hate this technology, and they have to hate something so they’ll turn their blind hatred on you!

This is not even a datacenter issue.
