I did for about 15 years when I lived in Richardson. Sometimes I could smell the faint odor of diesel exhaust when they ran their gennies. It was a living nightmare.

The Chinese propaganda angle is a cop-out. If everything is on the up and up then why are local officials signing NDA's. Something sinister is afoot.

Or maybe the US government is lying to you to get what it wants.

Has the US government or China done more to restrict your freedoms?


The proper question is, "Has the US government done more to restrict your freedoms or has the Communist Party done more to restrict the freedoms of its citizens?"

The fact that China can't pass laws in the US obviously means the US government will be the cause of more freedoms restricted for US citizens. That's common sense, but it makes your question pointless.

But since freedom is the question here, would you rather live under the US government or the communist Chinese government?

If you can't answer the CCP, then why would you trust them over the US government?

If you do prefer the rule of communists, then your opinion becomes irrelevant as it would clearly indicate a mental issue.

Like they give a shite that he told them to build their own electricity. They can just get utilities to build it for them and pinky promise that it won't affect residential rates.

They pay on the front end and rest of the rate payers are on the hook for depreciation and future operation.

Trump is implying there is an issue with data centers and available power (hence the requirement they produce their own power). He fell for the chinese propaganda, right?

I would be shocked to find that China isn’t involved in at least some American data centers, there’s over 1500 already and building them as fast as possible. I hope they enforce the idea of producing their own power, but even with that, as many of these as there are and the kind of power required, it will quickly start affecting other power producers because the demand for turbines and auxiliaries will be more than GE, Siemens, Mitsubishi can keep keep up with, large turbines take a while to build.

The funny part about data centers is they have kind of taken a back seat to flock which makes me question if data centers being put in first was a first stage of rolling out mass surveillance via flock, since flock depends on the cloud and data centers to function.


Flock doesn’t need these massive data centers across the country to function. Flock is still bullshite tho.

Just wait til democrats are back in power.

Data centers will use Wind and Solar to power themselves. No strain on the grid....Right?
