The extent of the pollution being put out by thousands of data centers is shocking. Some developers are exploiting regulatory loopholes.

to be fair, the scale of pretty much any global industry is incomprehensible to most people

It's true, I can not understand how all grocery stores constantly have fruit and vegetables available.

That always blows my mind, still. If you ever grew cherry tomatoes, you know how long it takes and how much it yields. Even the smalltest corner super market has cherry tomatoes, every day of the year. It's not even a necessity, it's just there.
