Sure, it's possible a certain 2% could be a tipping point, but seriously, look at US energy use as a whole, and it sounds unlikely. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Energy_in_the_United_States#Fi... As far as sources go, reading further shows wind and solar still expanding. I don't think we can generalize anything from energy consumption of data centers. | ||

Yes, that kind of indeterminate conclusion I can accept. What I cannot accept are people like the parent who want to ignore the very possibility of an issue or the role of this buildout in contributing entirely or who want to claim others are telling "lies" when this is patently not the case. The amount of sophistry and absolute dogshit argumentation this forum invites now thanks to general boosterism is pathetic. | ||
