Alabamians Want Answers About a Four-Million-Square-Foot Data Center Coming to Their Backyards
cross-posted from: lemmy.world/post/29805461
Residents in and around Bessemer are furious over Project Marvel, a plan to build a 4.5-million-square-foot data processing facility on 700 acres of wooded land. Public officials have been sworn to silence.If built to planned capacity, the data center would be one of the largest in the United States and could become one of the largest single consumers of electricity in the state. Of nearly a dozen residents interviewed by Inside Climate News, none expressed support for the project as planned. Instead, all shared fear and frustration over their inability to obtain information about the $14.5 billion proposal from politicians charged with representing the public.
Efforts by Inside Climate News to speak with public officials in Bessemer about the proposal, called Project Marvel, were met with silence. The mayor, his chief of staff and the city’s attorney all signed a non-disclosure agreement with the developer, staffers said, and would not be able to answer questions about the project.
Brexit madness - again
'His partner, Sarah, went further, accusing successive governments of a “betrayal”. Money that she believed had been saved by exiting the EU should have been channelled into improving it and other public services, she said.'
What money was saved? It has been a massive cost.

My #Leica IIIf has fully adjustable flash sync, allowing you to dial in the point a flash bulb ignites precisely.
This is great, because it means I can get "high speed sync" with 1950s technology.
The downside is that you sometimes need to burn through some bulbs to figure out exactly what settings to use. This is the result of some experimentation on Thursday night - some of these are definitely not even, so more testing is needed!

❗️Istanbul is not a free pass for Russia — the world must hit harder than just a 17th sanctions package, says Ukraine’s FM Sybiha.
Putin isn’t seeking peace — he’s faking talks to delay sanctions and keep the war going.
“Buy the ‘constructive Putin’ act again, and you’ll get another Bucha.”
Those war goals are to eliminate the Palestinian people, first in Gaza and then in the West Bank.
