Texas ... the state that wanted to have its own energy grid separate from the rest of us ... is going to have private grids that will serve data centers better than Texas utilities serve their humans.

Minus five points, Texas Rangers.

And we as society allow that? This is crazy shit, i hope countries start to do something, heck i wonder if EU will do anything about it for companies that are in EU

There seems to be no regulation on these whatsoever. The ones powering Colossus data center in Memphis are pouring out toxic chemicals into the atmosphere at an alarming rate. Many of the locals are sick from it yet nothing is done. Interesting that DOGE targeted the EPA so heavily in the initial weeks of this admin.
