Why is the climate cult not upset about how AI will increase massively higher electricity usage and water consumption?

A pretty large part of the industry is dealing with that right now.

Don't be surprised to see data centers with their own small nuclear reactor. Literally.

Interesting thought, on paper. But a bit whimsical, IMO, when someone else can take all the risk and time of power generation. And Google can just buy the finished product.

The industry is already up and running. SMR's, Small Modular Reactors. Companies like OKLO and TerraPower (backed by Bill Gates). There's a company in Norway that, rather than spending all the massive energy to cool down the data center, is working on collecting/transferring the heat to generate other power. Save energy on one end, create energy on the other.

It's inevitable now. The question is how long it will take to be fully efficient. Will there be pains in the ass along the way? Yeah, absolutely no doubt about it. This is all new territory.

Well, speaking of all this, Trump Media has just merged with a nuclear fusion company (Trump Media announces $6 billion merger with nuclear fusion company), and says it's going to build a plant for 2026. Interestingly, the technology isn't anywhere near ready yet, so I have no idea what this means.

One thing we know for sure, is that the "government" will be even more helpful on the technology, since Trump just loves combining government with corporations (Mussloni called that "corporatism") to make money for themselves.

True, but nuclear power plants were considered inevitable in 1955.

But then nobody would let them be built nearby. And the liability for an accident would bankrupt a small country.

It's a grift to position Trump to personally profit from government grants.

While also being in charge of those grants.

Climate change is nothing but a political football.

Otherwise the cult would not refer to the godfather of the EV as a NAZI.

Everyone the left does not like is a NAZI….EVEN JEWS.

We aren't morons and understand other people can also build EVs.

I meant that AI is inevitable, sorry. But the energy segment, working on the problem, is exploding.

Maybe not a good choice of words.

This could all bottleneck to a standstill. But it wouldn't be for a lack of trying.

Combine Mussolini with David Koresh and the Mafia, and you have this administration.

The biggest bottlenecks right now are energy and water. There's massive demand for the chips (I saw that NVDA is at 12:1 demand to supply), but it's all slowing down.

The AI buildout has held the economic numbers and the stock market up all year, much like the Dot Com thing did in the 90's. But the big difference between the two is the bottleneck.

AI is built on real physical products, like chips and such, creating a manufacturing demand. This is the opposite of the dot com bubble that simply created code. The comparison is rather dubious.

Oceanfront property is worthless because it all went underwater in 2012!

Beware

There are a lot of fake AI videos that are being made that fool people

There are several differences. I didn't say they were exactly alike.

You mean this snorse is not real?

Well, fuuuuuck. That sucks.

The greentwats are gonna go nuts.

Even more nuts than they are already.

You climate deniers and your cult actually approve of this, last I heard. We who understand how bad this is for our planet are against it.

When you jettisoned Musk, it proved another lie. A huge one.

Nope. I hated Elmo way back when he was just the paypal guy.

Because climate change is nothing but a SCAM. It's not really about the climate at all which explains all the contradictions and blatant hypocrisy on the part of the climate CULT leaders.

Climate change is about MONEY, period. Just like all the prior Dem schemes to SCAM money. Starting with the Dem's claiming global cooling was going to kill us all with an ice age unless...insert various Dem schemes to scam money.

Then there's O...M...G deforestation is going to kill us all there will be no more oxygen to breath. So EVIL Democrat scum bastardized the endangered species act to KILL OFF the timber industry in the U.S.A. devastating entire towns of working class who had been dependent upon timber industry jobs for generations. ONLY...wait a minute...Democrats were fine with Canada taking all that business and cutting down all the trees only a few miles away from us. That seems fishy doesn't it. But Democrats got their bribes and kickbacks and CASH out of the scheme.

The bunch of dumb ass Democrats BANNED paper grocery bags. Why? To save the trees. They spent millions of taxpayer money preaching to everyone about how PLASTIC BAGS would save the trees and hence the planet.

Now decades later, these same corrupt lying rat bastards are BANNING PLASTIC BAGS after the environmental disaster THEY CREATED wrecked the environment. And just like that TREE KILLING PAPER BAGS ARE BACK BABY.

The level of Dem stupidity and corruption makes you want to punch them right square in the face.

What about the treated water they need?

Why do data centers need water?

Why do data centers need water?

For cooling mostly.
