@GossiTheDog@cyberplace.social Well if they aren’t supplying the public grid, they can just be built *outside* the environment. And for convenience, that oil tanker was already towed there!

@GossiTheDog@cyberplace.social ...And now we know what Koch Network was really after when it pushed for lax data center oversight; it wanted a way to subvert state pollution legislation. https://www.desmog.com/2025/12/11/the-koch-network-is-pushing-trump-to-accelerate-ai-documents-show/ https://www.commondreams.org/news/trump-oil-industry-donations https://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2026/jul/18/donald-trump-iran-world-danger-bombing-us https://theintercept.com/2022/06/30/supreme-court-epa-climate-charles-koch/ #TranslatedFromTheRepublican "Billionaires seek to convince workers that dying of pollution-caused cancer isn't so bad" https://www.forbes.com/sites/mattdurot/2025/07/17/bill-gates-charles-koch-and-three-other-billionaires-are-giving-1-billion-to-enhance-economic-mobility-in-the-us/ https://hsph.harvard.edu/climate-health-c-change/news/fossil-fuel-air-pollution-responsible-for-1-in-5-deaths-worldwide/ https://www.theguardian.com/environment/2026/jul/20/trump-pfas-sewage-farm-fertilizer https://www.epa.gov/newsreleases/epa-issues-permitting-guidance-further-president-trumps-agenda-promoting-data-centers

@GossiTheDog@cyberplace.social jfc exactly. The whole point of pollution laws is to protect the environment or at least to prevent the cost caused by pollution from being externalised by the polluter to wider society. Where the power is used is irrelevant.
