We all see this coming, but the billionaires and our state/county/city leaders assure us everything will be fair and fine.
Same deal with water. It will be 100 degrees and data centers will be draining local water supplies, while residents will be told not to water their flowers or take too many showers.
Fuck all this.
I love that their solution is to not use the thing that the data centers are supposed to be for.
Oh don't worry, people in Silicon Valley won't feel the restrictions and will be running their OpenClaw-type chained agents all night long doing absolutely nothing of worth.
I'll be so sad when the CEOs get Luigi'd.
People will be sacked for turning up to work smelling of sweat. Such fun times.
Wasn't this already the case like 2 years ago in Texas? Except I remember the governor telling people to drink less water and shower together when possible to save water for the data centers.
