“They paved paradise & put up a parking lot” was the 1st thing that popped in my head when I read your latest headline, Erin. Wishing you as much happiness as we can all find amidst the craziness.
When I express concern about data centers to people here in CA central valley they say What's that?? If I try to explain they usually say I love ai it makes searching on my phone so much easier. Some use Chat GBT. It does all the work for them. That's the average mindset! I'm bookmarking this for when it happens here.
Retired NASA scientist Jonathan Trent gets standing ovations from govt officials for his industrial symbiosis UpCycle Systems concept; in Santa Cruz County, for instance, solve our ongoing/worsening salt water intrusion (gnarly issue for regional Agriculture), use that non-potable wtaer to cool a data center that serves the whole County, then turn that brackish "waste" into potable water.... Standing ovations, he gets, on refrain.. then; nothing changes because.. we can't break this 10 year contract to truck all this stuff to Oakland at $$$$ per ton ... Or.. Or.. Or...... Anything, ANYTHING, but paradigm shift. https://www.linkedin.com/in/jonathan-trent-7742555/
