Data centers are general purpose, they have a specific job. It’s not the same as if say plotting to disrupt a power grid. And trying to protect everyone while weaning people off things that harm the environment is a lose/lose battle, unfortunately. We’ve gotten ourselves into a corner with being dependent on things that have no lower redundancies.

You’re correct that they will just repair/rebuild if nothing else is done. But passive protests don’t seem to stop that. What’s your suggestions?
