The majority of ire towards these data centers needs to focus on electricity use. These centers are being latched on to our electric grids, and generators aren't prepared for the increases in demand. This causes them to have to raise rates on RESIDENTIAL electricity because now they are buying...

If I were them I would immediately sue to allow it to go through. As much as HATE AI....I hate the TRUMP ADMIN even more and this is clearly retribution for not agreeing to their insane demands a couple months ago.

Water use by current data centers technically dwarfs in comparison to many things, especially corn production. And while some of the proposed centers would use an ever increasing amount of water, that still isn't the real problem. The problem is electricity use. When these things are built the...

Whomever is making claims to these guys that it 'would render portions of low-Earth orbit useless for up to a year' doesn't understand nuclear weapons or doesn't choose their words well. If they are trying to make the claim that replacing destroyed satellites would take a year that is one thing...

There is literally nothing else right now that can accomplish the task. Expensive it may be, it will still be expensive with other vehicles.

Not that I would be against this....but no mention of why this instead of JWST?

You know what you don't notice in the story? Despite the casual mention of the idea being proposed in 2023....the FCC had never voted against it before. Ideas still have to be reviewed and analyzed before the FCC can fully recommend. Some recommendations that go through have been in the works...

Amazing how you can completely lose business for two years yet 'earn' a humongous pay package.

In reality, they just don't want to say "We want to stick it to these blue states"

This administration and Republicans didn't lift a finger when energy companies shut down nuclear plants on it's watch. DEMOCRATS saved many of them. But Trump wants to take credit for the 'resurgence' of nuclear despite he being part of the reason we need so much power now.

They can't 'claim' anything as a possession on the moon. Not to say someone wouldn't try, but still.

So the guy's solution to "we change things too much and spend too much money" is to.....dump everything, start all over and expedite things? Which is.....changing again and spending too much.

Bet a ton of people fall for this scam: the one in which a CEO makes you think you are actually going to earn a real salary while he walks away with millions.

It should scare every TikTok user just as much as it may have before that the US government will have even partial control of this. Your data is going to go right to MAGA-land, and liberal leaning content creators and content will mysteriously lose exposure.

Even people who understand nuclear power and how it can be successful don't listen to anyone from the Union of Concerned Scientists. Other than that, the only 'expert' they really quote is someone who left the Commission the moment she got a good job offer.

It's more the argument that they used the threat of taking their investment away to force the coal companies to reduce production. This could theoretically cause the stock of the company to decrease and thus lose value for regular investors which these companies could still weather. It's a...

We also have to go with the fact that Trump simply announced it, meaning it could just be more smoke and mirrors like all his tariff 'deals' have actually been.

Does the MAGA crowd not see that this is technically socialism?

Shut it down. See how many of his minions throw a fit.

Lol...the FTC trying to put in an unenforceable stipulation for a merger. That's the main reason these companies agreed. SCOTUS literally has already said corporations have 1st Amendment free speech rights.
