wow thats fucked up . seems like datacenters may have been a mistake 🤔

South Lake Tahoe hospitals, fire stations, and emergency services depend on stable power. A 75 percent reduction forces emergency protocols and backup generator reliance.

Ironically, something about this article smells like AI slop to me, be it the sentence above or the "Quick Facts" pane with a totally unnecessary 🔥 in the header, or the random table in the middle, or the overuse of bolding words.

Who do they think is going to use all this AI if homes and businesses have no power to run computers?
