That is despite huge propaganda campaigns by tech giants and the government in favor of them mind you. Everyone who experienced what it‘s like living near one absolutely hates it for many reasons including health issues from the noise and vibration. Anyone who doesn‘t already got a taste of it when utility bills climbed up.
Not hard to figure out why. There‘s an oil crisis and these AI bro fucks keep constructing giant diesel engines to power the giant data centers. Everyone else loses.
That’s the problem we have locally. No one wants these things, but local government keeps trying to push them through anyway because all they see is tax dollars.
What’s even crazier: Only 20% of the world’s oil production is affected. That means 80% are still available.
It would be trivial to save 20% of oil, but we just don’t want to.
People are driving just as much. There’s no push to home office. No push to make people stop buying crap they don’t need. No push to decrease flying or anything at all.
Instead, offices are still uselessly illuminated all night. Useless ad screens are playing at any time of day, burning precious fuel for no purpose.
We still throw away 30-40% of the food we produce. We still don’t have a massive push to pivot to renewable energy.
Collectively, we don’t care about energy shortages, and politics and companies don’t either.
Instead, we just price the poorer nations out of competition. We can afford gas at €2/l, and we don’t care that entire nations are collapsing right now because they can’t afford fuel at all.

they are selling our strategic reserves overseas while Iran is not over and we running low every day.
I cant believe this.
