The data centers are literally using portable turbine generators that produce wayyy more pollution than all of the cars we drive, yet somehow the epa cares more about putting 0w8 oil in my car to save 1 mpg in a year that can cause my engine to blow up. The data centers warm the neighborhoods by 2°C and will cause the elderly and people to develop more respiratory problems. They actually put these data centers in people’s backyards by getting local permits to bypass the epa, even though it’s illegal and then nothing is done because they have their feet dug in.
Just because datacenters are terrible with questionable use, doesn’t mean that combustion engine cars aren’t really bad either. Especially in urban areas traffic is causing a massive decrease in air quality and as a consequence are certainly the cause for respiratorial issues. It can’t happen soon enough to relegate these cars into museums. But of course, EVs are just solving the engine emission problem, they don’t solvbe all the other issues cars bring with them.

Don’t forget the NDAs politicians sign so it can be done in secret and they can’t answer to anyone.
Don’t forget about water. Why’s every conversation about water? The things you’re describing are way worse than water consumption levels
