If Cali uses the power for desalination plants, it will cause climate change.Desalination plants are a great idea and will eventually become part of the mix. Takes a lot of power to run them. They will have to decide between power for the plants or data centers.
If they use the same power to run the data centers, it does not cause climate change.
And, we can’t have any of that climate change. So, they get data centers.
It’s actually pretty simple math.
