I know power is increasingly becoming a measure for how to much to invest in these infra build outs - and the cost to maintain them - but wonder if it’s a good measure as different components become more energy efficient.

Not really sure how this abomination benefits regular people, or the water supply...why do they build them in dry areas that already have problems with drought? Is no one asking why they are being allowed to be built in areas like this and Arizona? Isn't this the area a few years ago they had bad wildfires and all the cows died? And they never talk about building nuclear to power these things, just using everyone else's electricity....whole thing seems like a scam and a disaster in the making. And to what benefit? So more kids can cheat on their homework with chat gpt??

In this particular case in Texas they *told me* they were not using local water, but...it's all a big problem across many communities. Still, many states and cities are fighting to have them, believe it or not
