Energy Secretary Chris Wright says AI data centers can curb rising electricity prices

Energy Secretary Chris Wright: "Gov. Hochul has it exactly backwards. Data centers are the greatest tool we have right now to stop the rise of electricity prices."

Around 70% of Americans oppose AI data center construction. Nearly half of Americans oppose it strongly. Whatever one's personal opinion about AI or data centers themselves, note that the "popularists" aren't making a big push for Democrats to oppose data center construction. I wonder why.

Wait no hahaha Chris Wright drank fracking fluid on camera in 2019 to prove it was safe and ever since then he’s been living out the Green Goblin’s origin story. He even has degrees from MIT kind of like the Green Goblin’s high education. “You know, Governor, I’m something of a scientist myself.”

My theory is the rush to build data centers and other AI infrastructure is to present themselves as "too big to fail" and look for government bailouts when that day comes.

@kars_nels Nobody opposed chip factories. Micron just starting pouring concrete on NY state chip fab. But the AI data centers offer few long term jobs after construction and the AI tech leaders said for years they were gonna wipe out all white collar jobs. What did they expect?

Your regular reminder that Chris Wright has a Master's in electrical engineering from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. He isn't stupid when he says something this demonstrably false, he's evil.

Trading life for data centers. How AI tech bros murder the earth and unshamedfully proud of it. Shame on you.

Young Floridians have spoken. We want a future where every drop of water isn't siphoned off to AI data centers. Where Florida's natural beauty isn't bulldozed for another data center or detention facility. A job economy where hard work leads to a future, not automation and dead-end wages.

New York becomes first U.S. state to impose AI data center ban

This is a lie. AI data centers hog electricity and increase costs to everyone else.

Energy Secretary Chris Wright: War is peace, freedom is slavery

While Hochul's executive order is technically progressive, comparing it to a parallel data center bill in the state senate reveals a governor who would rather negotiate with the tech industry than regulate it.

People really hate AI data centers (at least if they're going to be built near them).
