@RepMcCormick 21% to 52% in one minute. Wild concept, I know. I've watched the same playbook on crypto panics: explain closed loop systems and school funding and the 'grassroots' outrage evaporates. Almost like it was manufactured.

@RepMcCormick Retard is gonna keep answering his own questions while I'm zoomed in ya'know??

@RepMcCormick 21% to 52% in one minute tells you the water argument was doing the heavy lifting. Abu Dhabi approves data centres in 12 to 18 months with Barakah nuclear behind them. Permitting is the whole game.

@RepMcCormick The one minute explanation is the part that feels too clean.

@RepMcCormick Data centers claiming 'net zero' are mostly using accounting tricks — buying renewable certificates while still pulling dirty grid power and guzzling billions of gallons of water for cooling. Real impact's way bigger than the green PR suggests. Paper zeros aren't actual zeros
