Is it just me or putting all data centers at one location is like putting all your egg in one basket...

@chiefenumclaw7960
The same people opposed to building more data center capacity look like the exact people who oppose nuclear energy... and then they have the audacity to complain energy prices. Why should the least technical people (she had to explain to them WHAT a data center was) have any say in technical matters?
@ethair8975
They complain companies are building infrastructure near them but then when the companies move the infrastructure elsewhere they complain there are no jobs.

@computron1
Too many lawyers, and not enough engineers, scientists, and builders in the system. As the demand for energy and space grows, we need people who can actually come up with ideas and plan for the future. What is it going to take to power industry and homes? If it's using too much water and power, can you run these systems on something much more efficient than millions of power hungry gpus? Americans need a swift kick in the rear because they have forgotten that all the things they need require a physical presence to manufacture it. You can't both want something, and then complain when it's built in your area.

Does no one think of supply and demand? Instead of regulating data centers into oblivion, why not charge them more for the electricity? Government already controls electric rates. If they want so much electricity, they pay more, which allows for more power generation. It’s not like these data centers are twisting our arms.

And then they wonder why nothing is produced in the US anymore. Anytime someone builds something that creates jobs and revenue they protest against it. Stop bing so spoiled and appreciate the few industries you still have, or you won’t have them anymore.
@HackerFlavio
them: "we want less datacenters" also them: "why is my phone slower now"
@Risk2Reward100
Data centers are the backbone of everything digital now — and AI just cranked things up to 100. The demand’s insane, but the energy side of it is starting to feel like the real challenge. Wonder how long the grid can keep up before we hit serious pushback
@dlewis8405
Virginia has a nuclear power plant at Lake Anna with two reactors. For years there has been talk of expanding the station with a third reactor. It is time to get going with that. There is also a company planning the first fusion power plant in Virginia. Power won't be an issue if we plan for growth.
@NAMLE-qv2id
What's going on with people here? On one hand, they complain about development, but on the other hand, they're asking why America is falling behind China and why manufacturing jobs are leaving the US ?
@thanakornpasangthien5590
Come to Thailand, bring your data center here. We need your job that you don't want to do.

they complain everything,that’s why tech companies built data centre outside US n provide jobs there

4:30 on average one home uses 1.2KW power at any given time, it means 1MW can power roughly 800 homes, not 3 or 4 thousand.

Do one thing: switch off the phones, don't use vehicles, don't eat, and in other words, stay in the forest. No pollution, no climate Change.

We need to find ways to reuse the heat. This can be through heating the nearby residential houses or green-houses. One more manner of reusing the heat is adsorption cooling. This can reduce the demand for cooling systems, which consume a high amount of electricity. So, you re-use the heat while also reducing the electricity requirement. Also, using rooftop solar systems to reduce the dependence on the grid. The efficiency of panels will be higher due to very cold temperatures. One more manner can be a vertical expansion of data centers instead of horizontal expansion. This will reduce the land footprint of data centres.
