Thats a choice the local government is making and doesnt apply to every data center.

So? It's still impactful to human lives and is more directly tangible than abstract food costs

But it isn't an AI problem it's a government problem.

So if a coal plant was consuming vast resources and interfering with the populace, is that the coal plants fault or the government?

If there's a remote village somewhere that needs a steady supply of electricity and coal power is the only solution. Is that a bad thing because it's coal?

If a coal plant was then built in a place where the water supply was scarce and they government was like sure you can build that here whatever and then they did and suddenly the towns people had to start importing water bottles to meet the demand. Is that a coal problem or a government problem?
