Understanding Legacy: A 4-Minute Exploration of What We Pass On:
When I was young, factories filled the skies with smoke you could see. At least we knew what we were breathing.
Today, the smokestacks are invisible. They’re called AI Data Centers — and they are exploding across the country.
Coal and natural gas will be fueling these power plants to provide electricity to cool and run the computers in these monster AI Data Centers.
From ChatGpt: 👉 The carbon footprint of AI data centers over the next two years (their electricity use, cooling, etc.) could be as large as the emissions from over 100 million cars regularly on the road.
Each one pumps out as much greenhouse gas as 53,000 cars driving an hour a day, 5 days a week.
By the end of 2026, 2,000 new centers will be online. That’s the pollution equivalent of 107 million cars added to the current number of cars on the road! All within 2 years!
My grandchildren will inherit this world. And unless we change course, they’ll inherit skies hotter and harsher than anything mankind has ever faced.
Technology isn’t the enemy — but reckless, fossil-fueled growth is. We need clean power for AI before the future is locked in and it isn’t going to happen within the next 5-10 years. Coal and natural gas will be fueling these power plants!
Plan on increases to your electrical bills! These new utility plants cost will be passed on to the users.
Progress without responsibility is just greed with a new name. I wonder why the new administration cancelled the Paris Climate Agreement and the EPA is eliminating any enforcement of greenhouse gases from power plants.
Start asking the media why they are hiding this information from the public.
