    Nope. A couple of them have been built and they’re just sitting there unpowered

    Imagine you had infinite money and no consequences

    I mean you could like— build entire city size data centers right?

    But this infinite money goes away if you’re not building them

    So your choices are to build something that you don’t need or to have no money

    You see, humans were not very evolved or adapted to their planet, given their own social structures

      Someone needs to uh…enforce and regulate rules that benefit society as a whole, those someone’s are very rare and few in-between, who will throw away their own life to for a short time, protect others. Then those others get threatened or killed.

      They are like the immune cells, preventing cancer (out of control, non-beneficial growth).

      See the problem? What are the odds of an intelligent species evolving without that? We got way further than we should, by the way. But this explains why we can’t seem to find any aliens.

      Only humans really seem to have THE civilization and technology building intellect. The rest are a pale shadow. Yet there are so so many species on Earth.

      And then we do stupid shit like this. Does that explain the Fermi Paradox?

      Most of them in California because that State simply cannot get its shitty power grid sorted out. The damn thing barely works at the best of times due to a combination of corruption, greed, and Government interference.

      As an example the utility company promised Digital Realty and Stack Infrastructure that they’d have the power ready for them by the time their DCs were built but…SURPRISE…they lied. The only fault for DR and SI here is trusting a California Utility to deliver on their promise.
