It's basically a gasoline powered power plant. They claim to use the gas generators as a "backup" but apparently backup means a good fraction of the time. It costs millions, generates only a couple jobs during construction, and that's it. There's no value to the community. It's a power plant that sucks energy off the grid, raises electricity prices. The end.

A place for all those who loathe AI to discuss things, post articles, and ridicule the AI hype. Proud supporter of working people. And proud booer of SXSW 2024.
AI, in this case, refers to LLMs, GPT technology, and anything listed as "AI" meant to increase market valuations.

The aguments are local. Do you have the land, the water the electricity etc... The power consumption alone raises rates so that the economy becomes uncompetitive. Businesses will move out withput sweetheart deals, and the population will wither and die as power becomes unaffordable.
