    No, we cannot have silent, emissions and maintenance free solar panels on rooftops. We need to run jet engines inside data centers instead.
    Yes, this makes so much sense.

        They will call that “progress”, and probably “clean energy”, that’s going to be good for aaalllll citizens of that town.

        That’s why the citizens will have to pay extra taxes to finance the new “town infrastructure”.

        Now bring the data center money.
