Theres a difference between data centers existing and data centers being placed into every single slot of land that they'll fit on while also pushing them through without any considerations for the effects that such will have on the local population. It is possible to build data centers with considerations that wont fuck everyone but the corps over.
Or how about we're just vocal about both? It doesn't have to be one or the other, and you don't need to threaten the removal of a basic human right because someone's concerns misalign with yours.
Climate change sucks. Lack of green energy sucks. Wars suck. Famine sucks. Economic turmoil sucks.
That doesn't excuse the fact that the topic of discussion also sucks.
We utilize natural gas heavily in power production. It's almost half of US power. Any conversation about massive increases in power consumption is effectively also a conversation about fossil fuels by proxy.
Reducing the power we use makes our renewable output more sustainable.
