The grid really can’t handle AI data centers. Elon’s monster in Georgia is surrounded by turbine generators. A bunch of these new builds need power capacity added to work.
When that bubble pops, it will be the funniest, saddest and stupidest economic crisis we’ve ever had.
People really said that electric vehicles were too much strain on the grid? All I ever heard em say was that they’re pointless.
Nope, it really is something anti-BEV folks say. “We can’t just all switch to electric cars, we couldn’t possibly charge too many simultanously.”
Those “it just offset the emissions to the powerplant” folks is probably eating their own word now.
Its really the water that’s the big issue now.
To be fair they want to attach new power plants to some of them.
By bypassing safety regulations to rush build new nuclear reactors
Lots are natural gas plants.
Yo dawg, I heard you like power…
Yeah I think some of them are even trying to be self-sufficient in terms of power.
They are still taking capacity and parts for powerplants which could have been used to power actual useful stuff. This is like when cryptobros attempt to claim that they were mining with green energy. It doesn’t matter, the energy used should not be used for this useless shit which only exists to fulfill the greed of a small handful of shitty people.
