Let’s talk about AI Water and Power Usage as a Shared Resource – Informed Consent of the Governed?

A great comparison of Prevailing Narrative v. Actual Events:

This massive and sudden thrust to build data processing facilities throughout the USA at great cost in money and resources?  The narrative it seems is to win the AI race against China and the rest of the globe.  Is that a national priority?  What is the cost exactly in terms of regional water usage and power supply?  How will be address other national concerns such as new gasoline refineries?

Are Americans actually represented in commitment to using our shared natural resources?

 

 

Excellent questions raised about forever chemicals released into the atmosphere, not to mention jobs lost, and the costs imposed on the public while the tech companies reap the rewards.  Just how much water and electric are we using?  How much does it affect reservoirs and aquifers?  What is the exhaust and by product consequences?

And the original short covering the Oregon Town Hall.  Why are they FOREVER Chemicals?  Because they can’t be boiled away.
