A Call to Arms

“They want us to trust a trillion dollar industry that tells us with a straight face that they can suck five million gallons of water out of our ground a day,” Hollingsworth argued, to “use it as a liquid heat sink, and return it to our rivers without a single consequence.”

Yet the water “does not stay in the loop,” he explained, but “evaporates into the sky by millions of gallons,” while AI companies downplay the amount of “forever chemical runoff” which is used to “bleed the lines to remove toxic sludge.”

No matter how inconsistent I may be with my posts in 2026, I haven't spent nearly 20 years building a platform and an audience to share it with people that I don't know who are espousing opinions that I may not agree with.

While there may be some people amongst the tens of thousands of followers of this blog who would care to hear what other people think, I have never been one of them (and I don't think it's something most people are missing).
