What commenters are saying
Commenters express outrage at Amazon's planned data center, calling it a catastrophic acceleration of climate change. A debate emerges over whether Amazon or xAI deserves more blame, with some arguing xAI started this "race to the bottom." Others critique capitalism's role, while a few defend crypto's environmental record. Users also note voter hostility to data centers, with moratoriums in NY and TX, but politicians enabling dirty energy. The thread includes tangential arguments about Soviet irrigation and US foreign policy.
