An AI datacenter devours enough water and electricity for a whole city of people each day.
A human artist only takes up as much electricity and water as any single human.
This is why, even if we settle copyrights and such, AI will always be immoral. Just pay a human.

The US already devotes more than 40 million acres to growing corn for ethanol fuel production.
If only ~1/3 of that land were converted to solar PV, it could generate enough electricity to cover the entire country's electricity needs.

Parking lots. In America, we have LOTS of those. Putting solar over those would probably generate enough electricity, we could quit oil in one huge category and go to electric vehicles.

"The developers behind the project had said it was on track to produce enough electricity for more than 350,000 homes in Rhode Island and Connecticut by next spring."
Breaking News: The Trump administration ordered construction to stop on a $4 billion wind farm off the coast of Rhode Island that has already mostly been built.
Trump Administration Orders Work Halted on Wind Farm That Is Nearly Built
The order to stop construction on Revolution Wind off the coast of Rhode Island is part of a campaign against renewable energy.

Generators sing, as emergency outages continue.
We had enough electricity to charge everything.

It's not enough that they pay half the price that households pay for electricity. Now they're going to get cut price gas too!
It's time we stopped pandering to Big Tech and their data centres which create no jobs, and use our electricity, water and gas. No more data centres!

The obvious end point is an electricity grid that has enough storage on it, in enough places, that the timing of energy generation basically becomes irrelevant.

A $1.77T investment in solar would produce enough electricity for the ENTIRE continental United States
Or we could launch a few missiles
Which has the better ROI?

Ontario is cutting off electricity exports to the U.S. in response to Trump's tariffs.
This is a huge problem as U.S. struggles to get enough reliable electricity.
Even bigger when you consider that Ontario is much greener than neighboring U.S. grids
Bigger still if Quebec follows suit.

You can carry it onto a commercial flight as luggage. You set it down in moving water. And immediately, it generates enough electricity to power a dozen homes for five years.
Germany just solved off-grid power without pouring a single ounce of concrete.

Data centres now consume 23% of Ireland's electricity, with demand set to rise even further.
That means higher bills, greater pressure on our energy security and growing risks to our climate targets.
