I keep hearing how everyone’s electric bills are going up with AI data centers near them. Why aren’t the companies paying the bill? Or is it building the infrastructure to accommodate them the issue?

      I think it’s important to input blame in to ALL responsible parties. Fuck the AI companies but “not 1 person in town wants it”? Politicians are people and if they didn’t want it they could stop it or bump taxes so high it would drive them out, if they are not doing anything they are getting something out of it.

      • don’t “dehumanize” politicians. They are not gods they are just regular people that you have power to remove.

      • Add their names to the list EVERY TIME. AI companies are getting away with a lot BACAUSE of politicians, bribe, lobby etc. They are responsible. Make them understand
