They can’t spend that fucking money on making this shit in a way that’s compliant instead?

Yeah, if data centers used solar power, batteries, and cooling that doesn’t waste water, I think communities wouldn’t mind (as much).
It’s not even that. Plenty of data centres are also being built illegally, in gross violation of environmental regulation. Straight up criminal.
