I look forward to them also making their own water, and pc parts too.

The Australian government is never going to do the right thing in relation to ai, or data centres.

put a VPP on them and cut the power if they start drawing too much at times of peak load. Do it. do it do it do it.

Yeh, let's classic generation pay for that till it fails and grid collapsed. All that shit will run on coal half of the time. They should instead force them to invest in nuclear, it is green and it is stable.
