Dino juice should be phased out, and something like this should be required to develop a Candu reactor, than the heat should be shoved up Kevin’s ass!

Marlaina Smith passed a law that data centers can NOT use renewables, they must use gas. I shit you not.

I guess we're talking local gas, and the argument is something like "support your local oil co."?

Not that it makes it any better but that's the reasoning that eluded me. It's fucked up though, because this is what countries/regions/politicians do all over the world: save the planet, sure, but local jobs come first.
