I totally agree with all 200 of them. Apart from environment/climate issues, this will once again allow the US to dominate a market through reckless lack of regulation. In other words, on the backs of not only our planet but also people who do not benefit from it at all.

Just one example: one of Musk's datacenters runs on gas-powered generators! The air is so bad that people who live nearby are getting sick already.
