So the pollution is the point. At no point has any article been, "look at all the jobs." Or "look at all the data we can close down other data centers." It's all articles about how much waste this is and how we will just let it happen.

Where are the French farmers to teach ours how to dump waste in protest?

Oh, it's in Texas? Then who cares?

Look I know it's fun to dunk on Texas but this does in fact affect the rest of the world by polluting it. So we should all care a lot

I cares, Not every Texan is a backwards asshole. Even the backwards assholes don't want the data centers in their back yards, its becoming a bit of a uniting factor for us here in the state.
