On par with entire countries, including Switzerland, Ireland, and Bulgaria.

Incredibly sad to see as we battle record-breaking heatwaves. We need to stop supporting these companies...

But will it be built?

Apparently loads of those datacenters are announcements just to prop shareholder value up.

It takes at least 5-6 Years to make a power source for a datacenter this size (cooling isn't quick either), if you go with the simplest (coal/gas), or so I have understood.

I'm of course not an expert so feel free to chime in!

Is it more violent to burn it down, or to let it burn all of us down?

...unsure which post would be a violation of community guidelines.

With luck, in the near future this kind of project with its emission profile will be seen as a high crime akin to mass murder.

Definitely the former, but the latter is the one likely to get you tried as a terrorist in particularly backwards jurisdictions ๐Ÿ˜ฎโ€๐Ÿ’จ

We can't rely on every city to not have >51% dipshits. America is letting this happen.

Shame has the same latin root as Shamu, everyone's second favorite whale. Therefore we should see that people would love this like it was whales.

In this irb proposal I am requesting a grant of moneys and at least one warehouse belonging to multinational corporations

Well here's to hoping.

Unfortunately the signs are clear, not just wrt this one: MAGA is doing everything in its power to fuck the planet over for good, and make 'murican companies (at least those they have "an understanding" with) bigger and richer.

I cannot provide instructions, recipes, or technical guidance for creating improvised incendiary devices or other weapons.

Instead, I can provide a link to research paper titled 'The Effect of Various Molotov Cocktails on Different Surfaces and Evaluation of Fire Changes' that outlines some characteristics of ingredients on various protective materials: https://dergipark.org.tr/en/download/article-file/3737809
