Can you point to where anyone did that?
Yes. In the original article by lack of specifics and proclivity to dramatise.
So there is a 40K kw Data center and many others. What do all the greenwashed whining environmentalists want to do about it? Switch them all off?
Lets shut all the coal fired power stations down tomorrow as well or better still, ban the people that whinge about them from ever using any of the energy they supply OR any product or service that depend on them.The savings in power and emissions would be huge and they should be happy with that right?
Yeah, And pigs might fly... but they would complain about their emissions as well.
All the time I see people bitching about something because it uses Power/ water/ creates emissions but those same people never live in the caves the appeasement of their complaints would require. Of course if they did, they couldn't burn Firewood because they whinge about smoke and emissions from that and destroying the habitat of the bush by burning the dead wood. There is simply NOTHING that can be done that these whingers wouldn't have some complaint about.
Renewables are NOT viable at this time to supply all energy needs. You can fill our deserts with Solar panels and when the sun goes down, we are stuffed because it is not viable to have adequate storage to support energy demands. Of course even if you do wave the magic wand and money becomes a non issue to create this Utopian fantasy, all the green washed whingers are going to bich about the factories you have to build to produce the panels and they will fair shit a kidney over the mining and processing of the materials to make the batteries and then where is all the energy going to come from to produce these things in the first place?
There is not enough wind to make turbines the replacement energy choice and even if there was, you'd still have all the whingers complaining about the birds being hit by the props and god forbid you should have the thought of building a dam for hydro!!.... If there was sufficient water in the right location and situation in the first place. Nothing else has a hope in hell of coming close to providing sufficient power on a basis that society as a whole, both private and commercial interests, can afford or wouldn't do more damage than the technology it aims to replace.
In the mean time, People are watching their giant TV's, running their aircon, flying away on holidays, building holiday houses that will be used a few months of the year, if that, installing and using dishwashers, whining and surfing on the net and generally talking a lot of feel good crap while making giant hypocrites of themselves.
The fact is that there just aren't practical solutions to every problem and whining about the less than ideal current technology's while consuming them yourself only serves to make people complete hypocrites.
