I’m impressed at your dedication to environmental destruction. Hey, there’s already a warehouse there, how could adding massive amounts of energy flows, 24/7 noise and light possibly be detrimental to the very small remnant bushland literally right next door?
The fact that we’re producing surplus electricity during peak daylight hours is immaterial to a facility that will demand massively more 24/7. Data centres don’t just turn off at night. We should be using surplus for industrial processing, in a manner similar to how we used to only grind flour when the wind was blowing. There’s lots of opportunities for such uses, and they could be even more incentivised by government, instead of giving grants and preferential treatment to foreign corporations to make mechanical minds that do not give back reciprocally to their environment.
Likewise, recycled water should go to other ecologically reciprocal uses first, not to horrifically inefficient and non-reciprocal mechanical minds.
it is kindof hilarious that anyone at this point think living standards are ever going to get better for any except the 1%, and even they won’t see this continue for long as we come to the carbon pulse down slope and run out of key minerals, water, and climate change really starts to bite hard.
