Hey, growing up my morning breakfast used NASA Technology to create a healthy powdered morning drink mix that reduced the number of oranges required to fill my juice glass!

Lord, you went off the rails in your second sentence!

Why can't you stick to the topic, cooling data centers? This has nothing to do with vibe coding, the stock market, or the Fed...

Exactly.

And from the cooling yard the water goes where? Oh, yeah, back into the cooling system. The water is not "used," it is "re-used" - yes, some evaporates, but not 50,000 people worth of water (BTW, how much water does "one people" use?)

It so cheap, wind and solar, that as soon as government money is pulled from a project, the project is cancelled.

Why are these projects only pursued when there is free gov't money offsetting the cost/reducing the risk?

We raced down this rabbit hole years ago with the debates about the OLPC project, that promised to bring the internet/computing to villages that lack basic sanitation, fresh water or electricity... I think the conclusion was with internet access third-worlds could simply order whatever they lacked from Amazon or something if they had internet access.

Sorry, replied to wrong comment

You must be new here, welcome!

Oh, you must be new here... Welcome!

China is pumping out record amounts of "electrotech" (AKA solar panels, wind turbines, etc), and the market they are selling into is shrinking (US and European exclusions are growing), will result in over-production, which leads to lower prices.

I don't understand why lower prices on Chinese "electrotech" will drive India to greatly increase domestic (Indian) production of "electrotech"...

Cheap Chinese solar panels didn't cause the U.S. to increase domestic (American) solar panel production...

More people died from COVID in the U.S. *after* the vaccines were available than before vaccines were available, why aren't those deaths Biden's fault?

Only one political party spent months casting doubt on COVID vaccines before the election, then suddenly announced their entire response to COVID was for everyone to get vaccinated (their goal was 1M vaccine shots/day, they quickly upped it when they found out Trump was doing 1M/day already)!

The pass democrats enjoy for their part in Covid is fascinating...

Are you talking about Biden being authorized to take secure documents OUT OF A SCIF and put them in his garage for years, showing them to his ghost writer?

So all the carbon emissions are from the production of gasoline, diesel, etc, not the actual consumption of that gasoline, diesel, etc, right? Whew, that's a relief - I thought I might have to give up my ICE automobiles, but since the issue is Exxon Mobil, not the countless millions of people that burn Exxon Mobil products every day, there's no need for me to change my behavior!

I guess that takes me off the hook, since I only burn gasoline driving around town - the problem is the greedy oil companies that keep restocking the local gas station for me? Great! Guess it's not my fault...

It's not the folks driving the ICE automobiles, the tractor-trailer trucks, or running ocean cargo ships that are causing the carbon emissions, it's the folks that sell them the gasoline, diesel fuel, and bunker oil? Interesting.

By the same logic are hostess bakeries responsible for the obesity crisis in America, not the consumers that eat their products?

What? Because it won't "stop" the wildfire problem we choose to not clear brush in California forests? It's not enough that it *might* reduce the severity of wildfires? If it won't stop them all we won't take any action?

This is the same brilliant logic that had one political party refusing to do anything to moderate immigration in the last administration because we failed to craft a comprehensive solution to immigration issues? That said we couldn't put up a wall along the border because it wouldn't end all illegal border crossings...

And rather than simply upgrading existing RR tracks between SF and LA and running the trains a bit faster, we needed a ten-stop, high-speed rail line that added hundreds of extra miles to the trip and promised to make it up by going faster, at a cost so exorbitant it was shut down with ZERO usable track being laid at a cost of tens of billions of dollars.

Can't we just clear out underbrush/kindling? Please?
