Electricity generation causes emissions, which enter the air. Cooling consumes water, as does power generation.

We are not generating this power using renewable energy. Have you looked out the window lately at what is actually happening?

Opposition to increasing electricity generation is wild. It’s regressive and frankly a recipe for disaster. Why don’t you direct your ire at someone more deserving like the current administration that’s opposing renewable energy.

I'm not against generating more electricity, I am against generating unnecessary emissions using obsolete combustion based mechanisms, and I'd appreciate it if you didn't put words in my mouth.

The current administration is enforcing the use of these obsolete technologies, and the likes of Elon Musk are using things like gas turbines in clear contravention of the law in places like Tennessee to satisfy power demand for a thing no one really wants anyway, except the already wealthy who see it as an opportunity to eliminate labor costs and make everyone more pliable and stupid than they already are.

It's worth noting that the same people profiting off the current AI bubble, are the same people donating a lot of time and money to elect and maintain this regime. Have you never heard of the network state? It is rather late in the day to play the fool.
