This is physically unsustainable for all life on earth.
The plans for data centers - if they succeed - guarantee that we burn the world down and blow every climate tipping point.
The fierce debate here is not just about "speed" but about who gets to decide and how we plan the entire economy.

i was actually shocked to see the numbers on new research from Global Energy Monitor on new gas projects in the US: nearly 100 gigawatts of power—enough to power tens of millions of homes—are currently in development explicitly to power data centers. At the end of 2023 that number was 4 gigawatts

Notably, the admin has NOT backed down from the operation in general. Large-scale arrests reportedly continue.
