It's a pretty foolish business plan to depend on wrecking the planet.

I get one small comfort knowing that Wall Street will be increasingly under water as the climate disaster progresses (remember Sandy?).

> It's a pretty foolish business plan to depend on wrecking the planet.

People who thinks they need the planet to survive until they die sees it as a great opportunity to reap the value they generated over their lifetime.

It's very shortsighted and foolish desire.


Where do you live so I can get that same feeling?

I was in BPC during Sandy, never lost power, never had flooding. Stayed around to help get our servers moved over to DR. So yes, I remember.

Thankfully, people are seeing how bad NY and CA State governments are and are wisely moving what they can out of it. https://www.txse.com/


And how will building data centers wreck the planet?

Heat and pollution emissions. All those unregulated gas turbines, starting with Grok and extending to everyone else through EPA dismemberment.
