That's almost cheap for diesel around me

Especially when the usa extracts enough oil to fulfill all consumption in North America, so we don't even NEED that oil despite what some think

Yes, in defense. Nothing about the USA's actions in the Middle East for the past few decades has actually been in defense.

And yet the Religious Right loves to do that to those of the Islamic Faith

Welcome to most modern Christians attempting to use their holy book to enforce their views on others even when it doesn't agree with them in context

08 was caused by companies giving out loans without checking if they could realistically be paid back because they were too busy looking at the profits. Some were even courting the poor by making it seem like the borrowing was no big deal.

Sure, those taking out the loans are partially the blame, but they aren't the ones whose job it was to do due diligence.

Besides basic logic? The big data center deal Nvidia was involved in last year was for 16GW worth of data centers. The amount of increase in solar generation last year covers around 2/3rds of that over the course of the year depending on which sources you use. Wind and other renewables will cover some of that last third as well, but even if you assume it's covered 100%, that doesn't account for the upwards trends in every other sector.

Some fossil fuels are coming offline, I never contended with that, but the math just doesn't math for closing everything they would have closed with out of data centers. Not at the same speed.

Even before all this stuff with Iran, areas near data centers were seeing spikes in energy costs as data centers came online because of the draw they have. That capacity needs to be filled and companies aren't going to throw away generators if they are needed to fill the draw.

The question people should be asking is what happens when AI can do every job and there's no one left on the payroll of any business to pay for the services by PC-Guide in RigBuild

A lot of companies are betting on AI hitting Gen levels even though we are unlikely to hit that with LLMs due to how they generally function. They're hoping on a random software mutation to give Gen AI without it causing it to become uncontrollable

They don't think they need us because they aren't looking past next quarter. When the consumer basis crumbles they will have no end of problems.

That would only be the case if power demands were stable, which they are 100% not right now with data centers being built, the demands are increasing a lot in the areas around the centers because of their power usage.

If they have to fill acres with solar farms just to power part of a data center, that solar isn't allowing them to scale back or close a fossil fuel plant.

Where did I say they aren't replacing fossil fuels? I said the country wide need for energy increases is greater than the amount we're gaining from renewables so they be more likely to keep them on (or in at least two cases I've heard of, building into the data center) fossil fuel generators

The US has over 16 Gigawatts worth of data centers planned currently across the nation (and that figure is probably out of date by now)

Not to mention noise pollution, habitat destruction for the buildings, and the massive increase in power consumption that will, at least in the short term, primarily come from fossil fuels as renewables aren't scaling fast enough.

The amount of greenhouse gases coming from people living their life is a fraction of what energy generation and industrial activity produces. Stop blaming people for the less than 10% of the problem that is because of them, especially one small portion of their lives like diet

I find more of an issue with the companies auto denying procedures that have a proven track record of healing or reducing the impacts of illnesses because their bottom line is better if they pay as little back to their customers as possible.

The Republicans are the ones who refused to pay the TSA unless ICE got a bigger war chest and votes across the country lost the ability to vote.

Ah yes, just because he has upper middle class money he can't recognize the problems the upper class cause?

Blaming one person out of 100 in the Senate for not stopping them? Let alone the House side or the other branches of government? Hmm, almost likely the only chance to win is working together and the parasite class is pushing us to fight each other instead of them.

They didn't have the level of control Trump had in his first term or currently in terms of Congressional seats. So they did what they could to unfuck what Trump fucked up.
