There it is right there. Lies, lies and more lies from megacorps invested up to their eyeballs in having just a few people in government believe them.
Edit: And it seems to me that if we can build oil rigs at sea and pipe the oil to shore then they can damned well build data centers afloat on a sea of cooling water and run fiber optic cable to the shore.

I hope this argument serves as a lesson for them.

Plot twist: He used AI to write that speech.

God Damn that was good.
Seriously this should be used as a script in every county these corporations are hustling.

Briliant speech. It could honestly be studied in a college class on rhetoric. I just hope that words and reason can make a difference among those board members.

Well spoke. I listened to every minute of this lads explanation. We do not need data centers exploiting our towns anywhere in America. The clean cup of water to drink is always more important than the poem a robot writes.
I look forward to reading about Revena denying the trillion dollar company the right to build.

That logo is crazy though. Am I the only one who sees it? Maybe I’m just a dumbass.

That guy speaks like a lot of people in Washington should speak. Facts before feelings and respectful to everyone involved.

No one wants to follow that

Genuinely curious, how often do these hearings make a significant impact on policy changes or proposals? I feel like in the end, corporations with money get what they want most of the time.

I’d love to hear the next guy cause how do you follow that lol

It is honestly refreshing to hear such a well articulated take on this.
I was going for a chair or something but sure, well thought out, articulated reasoning works too.

I work in the power industry. Me and the company I work for stands to gain a lot from these data centers. While in meeting, everybody is for these data centers, and I think a percentage really fully and whole heartily support building these, but I haven’t found anybody in my company that supports them behind closed doors.

Good statement. Serious with humour in between

We all need to deliver that speech

It’s awful that of course that was an amazing speech, but the seats casting votes will no doubt vote for money. With enough money they will f*ck humanity, every time.

I live about 15 minutes from Portidge, there’s a data center getting built nearby where I live, and it’s fucking massive.

Well spoken and motivating – Too bad he is wrong on the technical side, servers don’t bleed toxic sludge… where does this misinformation come from?

Amazing assessment and sadly, I hear it is completely wasted and will be disregarded and ignored by the people he is speaking to. I have heard earnest, educated, and well founded arguements too often pushed aside.

Unpopular opinion, he should have had more facts. It was very emotional but not super relevant, plus what he said was mostly just false.Â

Absolutely perfectly stated
Measured, reasoned, fact–based analysis. Absolutely awesome.
