This is crazy, data center boom

Look I don't know about ya'll, but I have the Terminator series on back to back here. Trying on picking up tips. Dude 2029 is just 3 years away start getting the EMP rifles in production before it's too late. Next I need to have a long conversation with Sarah Conner and her methods. Has anyone seen her of late..........

Google To Pay SpaceX $920 Million Per Month For Massive AI Compute Power

Google will pay SpaceX $920 million per month for access to ~110,000 NVIDIA GPUs under a new multiyear deal.

Anthropic does the same.
110K NVIDA GPUs.
And Texas gives $ to Sherman for more (needed) power. TI and other semi plants located there plus mega population growth.

Hill County Rescinds Moratorium on Data Center Construction

A corporation filed a $100 million suit against the county over its moratorium.

County said NO and Hill Co says OK, we'll sue for 100M$. That's the way it works.

gotta ask why all the interest in "data" centers, unlimited funding for the "data" centers.

whats really behind this ? Hint: its not really just for AI

theres more push for "data" centers than there ever was for green energy...WHY ?
 
We see jokes about old people always remembering the past, we don't understand the future and it scares the crap out of us. The good thing is we don't have a lot of the future to worry about.

I read this today and I don't even know what a "data center" is. I think I like it that way from the sounds of this post it's coming whether I like it or not.

I'm glad I grew up when I did. I do not see anything coming down the road that interests me in the slightest.

Didn't explore solar beyond the fact I know they go through batteries quickly in their life cycle. Thanks for pointing that out. Had not thought of the leeching while the panels was in operation. Not that I am a environmentalist. Speaking of them, environmentalist where the heck are they why aren't they up in arms? Over the whole situation?

where are they? listening to the rethoric of how good this is without being given any of the negative information available to those interested in looking into it.

they *beleive* everything they're told about it, whole cloth, without any digging.

then its as simple as calling people pointing out the negatives as "denyers" or whatever the hot word of the moment is, and its a nice closed loop echo chamber.



michigan perfect example.

Dem's pass 100% on party lines without a single GOP vote laws requiring 100% renewable energy by 2040. wretchedSh!tmer signs it into law.
of course the sales pitch is how much money you're gonna save on your elecytric bill from all this "renewable" green energy.

utility companies are now required BY LAW to spend hundreds and hundreds of billion's installing solar and wind farms.

Utility companies put in rate increases non stop to offset the cost of said hundreds and hundreds of billions of state required investments. basically every year and sometimes 2x a year.

MPSC (michigan public services comission ) of course all but rubber stamps every rate increase by the two major utility companies - again by law they pretty much have to since the utilities have ZERO choice on this infrastructure spending timeline/scale.

consumers are paying out the rear for these new "cheaper" options they were sold, and the current DEM canidate for govenor - our AG Dana Nessel - is campaining on "investigating all these rate hikes and reining in the utility companies"

like... they're not the reason the rates are up to begin with, and that there's no investigation into the utilities that are gonna stop the rates from continuing to go up and out grid reliability to go down.



and you really wanna set the greenies off their rail?

one of the bigger solar farm projects up north is set to clear cut 420 acres of pristine state forest to put in a solar farm.



but this is the "big green adgenda"

I'm just confused about the whole mess.

One side says that they use so much water and power that it's causing outages in the local areas then the other side says that they use "closed" systems.
 
The rocklickers around here have been screaming early and often about it. Don't know about the enviroloons elsewhere. But here they have been front and center.

I would be of the opinion that both system types are used depending on whom is installing them. As well as location, considering they wouldn't be as regulated as a Nuclear power plant.

Not all use closed systems. In North Dakota and other places out west yes because they dont have any water. Local mircrosoft center is taking neighbors well water. I drove by one pond across the street its damn near empty.

this right here ^^

they are willing to clear cut hundreds of acres for AI "data" centers, but why ? whats really going on and what benefit is there to the general public from these "data" centers ?

we dont get free electricity, free gas, free anything ? they wouldnt be willing to clear cut all the woods for solar farms, huge opposition to that around here but not for the "data" centers

something isnt adding up.

Taking over vast amounts of land is a part of it.
