This isn’t the hill you want to expire on. AI is coming whether America wants it or not. Here is a comforting thought - one strong CME from the sun and we will all be back in the stone-age. That is a distinct possibility in the next 20 years.
Perhaps Alex isn't old enough to put a better example in front of his readers. I am.
Imagine, if you will, America WITHOUT the anti-nuclear movement of the late 70s - early 80s.
Electric power for AI centers would not even be an issue because we would still be in the EARLY stages of unlimited, nearly free electric power from an established and ever-growing nuclear power array. Now, retrace WHO funded and supported that movement and what their goals were. Good ol' nutcase Lyndon Larouche and his Fusion Energy Foundation tracked both US (mainly Exxon-Mobile) and foreign influence and funding of the US anti-nuclear movement that bankrolled multiple musician groups and radical left groups to lead it. We have been strangled by OPEC and the "Peak Oil" lies, ever since. There has never been a larger lie foisted upon the western world than nuclear waste storage. A storage "necessity" nearly completely removed by fast breeder reactors, outlawed by the nuclear regulatory agencies PRECISELY to MANUFACTURE the nuclear waste problem. Jimmah, "the peanut" Carter led this rape of the American economy.
The ONLY uses we would have for petroleum, at this point in time, would be to produce plastics and lubricate cheaply (electric) powered machinery, including our cars.
This is not to mention the "Climate Change" hoax would NOT have the burning of fossil fuels as a cudgel to beat us with on the other half of the "destroy capitalism" front.
I don't like or trust this movement. Yet we are seeing locally here that there appears to be a shifting of the planned data-center electric costs onto utility residential customers. There is also no plan regarding the water usage. To my untrained eye, it appears that some of the AI companies are moving towards settling in smaller towns that may be unsophisticated in considering those things. So while I don't want to stop AI progress, I'm not sure local or state officials/legislators are sophisticated (or honest) enough to be sure residents aren't adversely affected.
Excellent as usual. Seeing who is funding a cause always exposes the real motives. Why can’t they care more about our air quality that they are polluting with chem trails?
Excellent! In WI it has been a hotbed of discussion and no discussion regarding the development of DATA CENTERS in small towns. Officials and citizens need to be aware of what’s at stake. AI is here. There is no stopping now. Intelligent questions must be asked. The moratorium sounds like a no kings blueprint….disrupt & distract and don’t let America get ahead.
Wait until a new power technology gets unveiled in 2026 that guts the anti-AI movement. This resistance will come crashing down.

All you had to do was mention sanders and aoc….

Great point Kathleen. The Anti-data center movement was portrayed as part of the green movement but you just outed them! 👏🏻
