I still can't believe the grotesquely huge amounts of copper they use in those data centers. Now we know why they got rid of the penny. Copper everywhere. As far as the eye can see!

    It will never be anywhere near the grotesque amounts of non-recyclable gasoline, diesel, fossil methane and collective emissions. You know these are measured in BILLIONS of TONS per YEAR, right? Being liquid and gaseous instead of solid is not a reason to dismiss them.
