Europe is chock full of suicidal cowards. We bailed their collective butts out of 2 world wars; and what was the gratitude worth?
They eagerly invited the invaders and punished their people for defending their children. This is worse than mere cowardice
We need to look out for ourselves and possibly PEACEFULLY have Greenland join us to grow and keep ourselves from falling to those aligned against us
Hastily initiated Slowly executed. Life long torment for the victims; no easy exit for the perps
And a much slower and tortured exit for the politicians who enabled it. European history if full of appropriate punishment
If anyone deserves MILLIONS for the years of life that was stolen from her, Tina would be my vote. I wish we could do more for her- she has suffered Deprivation of Civil Rights under Color of Law - and people need to pay, dearly
This should be a teaching opportunity. What happens when you try to help 3rd world nations?
They steal from those who tried to save them, then exploit their native country to enrich themselves
Too bad liberals never learn, and we all pay the price
The heat will disperse into whatever area the wastewater is dumped into. Some places make a cooling reservoir and let the mountain night cool the water and keep it semi-contained. Some is going to evaporate. That hot water will raise local temperatures, a lot
9TW is a phenomenal amount of energy Using AI the math shows the lake maintains temperature, but loses ~3.5 Billion gallons due to evaporation of this heat. AI assures this is negligible
I question everything. Lake levels and salinity have both dropped over the years. I question the number and size of data sites being considered
The data center will generate their own power, but use natural gas to do it. There is a plan to just tap off the gas pipelines already in place. Again this is taking almost 2x as much power as the entire state takes. I am not aware of any additional pipelines being added.
Every winter, SLC and everyone up and down the SL valley enjoy inversions. It’s been bad for more than a decade. Well, now it’s going to be ~3x worse. That’s a lot of carbon dioxide that is going to be added.
Cooling will likely get dumped into the Great Salt lake and whatever local streams are there. Neglecting the waste added to the water by this data center; there are very limited upsides.
The energy the data center will come in from the natural gas pipeline. Now that pipeline isn’t getting fatter; so 2X what Utah currently consumes in energy is going to come from Natual Gas
What do you imagine tripling the demand will do to a limited supply resource? Will Gas and Electricity go up? The Law of Supply and Demand dictates that prices will go up. Triple is a conservative guess.
Guess who gets a tax discount when that happens. Nope, not the people
People in Boxelder County showed up in record numbers to protest. The committee voted against the constituents anyway. 3:0 and that was it. It was a formality, and we are all getting data centers that will raise utilities and destroy our environments so they can mine our personal data. It’s not good
Fair question. You cannot destroy energy. That’s God’s realm
You can generate energy, and then transform it into electricity, or motion, but eventually it winds up as heat. Whether it’s your PC, car or AC unit outside. Heat tends to be the majority end form of energy. That 9TW winds up as heat somewhere. After powering lights, hard drives, server processors; it’s eventually going to be heat. Now that heat has to go somewhere. Into water and then poured away a LOT hotter than it went in. Into your lake, or heating the great outdoors
Take 2x of what Utah consumes anyway, and add that energy -> heat anywhere you want. It’s going to have an impact on everything
There is acting, where actors give a name and make the claim that this is a fictional story
Then there are scam artists that try to deceive, pretend to be real people, and pass deceit as “art”.
Bust them on fraud charges
1 Billion watts? Depends upon the area that it’s dumped into. People whine about the environment constantly. Snow fall, reservoirs, rain as things stand.
Now triple the heat for a single data center and then keep Utah flat; that’s 4x more plus that heat is gonna be dumped into a river, ground, or stream that’s now MUCH warmer than it’s ever been
Heat your local lake 1° F and things are gonna change. Ecosystems are going to be devastated
They use the water to get rid of the heat. The water may exit the data center as hot water or vapor.
It’s the scale that’s disturbing. Utah uses 3.8 TW/yr. That’s for humans to use in Utah, the entire state.
The proposed Data Center ADDS another 9 TW to the total heat Utah uses. So we hop from 3.8 to ~13 TW in heat
That’s going to immediately change the environment
I use a streaming device (Roku, Firestick, Apple TV - choose your poison). Only Apple pledges to protect your privacy.
Visio has been caught TWICE spying on your home network and sending encrypted packets to China. My TV is nothing more than a projector of a product I trust more
Liberals have NEVER met a Dictator they didn’t love
At the time, Hitler, Stalin, Mao, Mussolini, and many others were worshiped by Liberals. Today we see Liberals defending Iran as they fire missiles into nations that aren’t involved in this war
You can’t reason with insanity
There is not a whole lot to be happy about as you read a little further
14 Saying to the sixth angel which had the trumpet, Loose the four angels which are bound in the great river Euphrates.
15 And the four angels were loosed, which were prepared for an hour, and a day, and a month, and a year, for to slay the third part of men.
I have indeed hoped that I would be called back home, before this happens. Been saying that since my late teens, and in my 60’s now
What horrifies me is that HR companies can have an AI agent read your emails and social media, company email, texts and listen to calls on your company phone. All company Teams conversations, key strike and web page activities
Then screen for high compliance and maximum output for layoff and RIFs. No consideration for seniority, mentoring inexperienced, floor work, tribal knowledge etc
This is currently available across all Ai licensees available to HR
I have been convinced. I used to think GoT and the flaying was inhumane.
I think it is fitting for all those who participated in abusing children. Again, cowards in the courts finding that the jails have no problem doing the dirty work
