Summary
Beth breaks down the AI data center explosion hitting America right now - 3,400 announced, 781 under construction, each one a gigawatt heat machine dumping 1.4 Hiroshima bombs worth of waste heat into local environments daily. She maps the power grab, the water crisis, the noise plague, the eminent domain land grabs, and why this might be the the making of a digital grid prison - all while tracing NIMBY back to its origin in York, England 1880.
