Data Center: "Time to fire up the jet turbines"
This is a great first step. Next thing they need is environmental regulation with teeth.
The environmental regulation already exists. It's just not enforced.
Because federal agencies are captured by special interests and gutted.
Yeah that's what I mean. Right now they have no teeth.
I hear the waitlist on jet turbines is 2+ years....
