This is insanity. A nuke plant puts out a gigawatt. Where the fuck do these assholes think they're going to get this electricity (yes I know, us)? There's a reason we didn't fly planes with steam engines. Could we have? Sure but they would've been the 10x's the size of the Titanic. There comes a point when "could" we becomes "should" we. Yes we "could" build the infrastructure to power these "steam" computing centers but what we "should" do is wait and invest in smarter and way way more efficient ways to do this via software and hardware.

There are already datacenters completely built just sitting there waiting for a plug and these fuck wad tech baby monsters want a gazillion more of OUR dollars to keep building them. A fraud that makes 2007 look like a bump.
Key phrase here...
We don't NEED these, they WANT them.


FF!!!
