Agnostic Apologist: The data ec-center-ic (opens the original)
Read excerpt
The problem is bigger than the water, the power, the noise and the landscape impositions. Itâs also bigger than the typical NIMBY aversions. The real problem with data centers is that they seem destined to land in Technologyâs Museum of Intermediate Ideas, such as 8-track tapes, bag phones, Windows 95 and gas-guzzling Edsels.

A recent poll reported that about 40% of Americans pray at least once a day, though it did not include anything specific about prayer content.

Vance is Roman Catholic, confirmed in 2019, but his statements in the text and promotions of his new book, âCommunion,â are at best contradictory and at worst tilt toward the schismatic doctrine and practice of the Society of St. Pius X Catholic sect (SSPX), which Pope Leo recently declared schismatic, meaning some 750,000 followers are now excommunicated.
