Nuclear scientists and the University of Michigan want to build a massive data center in Ypsilanti Township, Michigan.
If built, the data center will, among other things, run simulations to help America build nuclear weapons.
The residents of Ypsilanti Township overwhelmingly oppose the construction of the data center

I’m not sure what bothers me more—the wanton environmental damage or the nerds cheering this on.
If this thing would have some good purpose it would maybe be different—but “Mars colonies” are bullshit.
It’s gonna be used to deploy tons of satellites that will pollute the night sky and for nefarious military shit. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
