Rules:

Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.

We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.

All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

They do and that's kinda the point.

  • Convince Europeans that data centers are a requirement for social stability in the 21st century.
  • Install a bunch of gas powered centers on European territory.
  • Build supply chain from the gas-rich Permian Basin to Europe.
  • Profit.

Not unlike how the US has made it a policy to export gas-powered automobiles and trucks globally for the last 80 years. This all becomes leverage to extend the influence and profitability of the O&G sector.
