Whenever people raise worry about the environmental impacts of AIgen megadatacenter rollout and then that Kind of Guy says well you don't know, actually it's probably very little, don't worry about it
- When they are publicly announcing the size of datacenters they want to roll out
- When they are building new gas power plants to supplement them
- When water is disappearing around the globe and it's disappearing in datacenter deployed areas even faster
- When we know that we are RUNNING OUT OF TIME on our climate clock already and should be prioritizing ABOVE ALL ELSE extending our clock
- When AI CEOs are saying they are going to build datacenters IN SPACE, the worst place for them you can think of

We are running out of time on this planet. There is new space for hope with massive developments in renewables.
We don't have time for this. Don't bullshit us.
