Sure, along with the occasional public execution, for optics.

The Fourth Amendment to the constitution disagrees. Blanket surveillance by definition flies in the face of our right against unreasonable search.

It's special because it's ephemeral.

Agreed. To see "Never Again" morphed into "Never Again for me, Now Again for thee" has been one of the most heartwrenching, sleep depriving things I've witnessed since some deaths in my family.

I'm not against generating more electricity, I am against generating unnecessary emissions using obsolete combustion based mechanisms, and I'd appreciate it if you didn't put words in my mouth.
The current administration is enforcing the use of these obsolete technologies, and the likes of Elon Musk are using things like gas turbines in clear contravention of the law in places like Tennessee to satisfy power demand for a thing no one really wants anyway, except the already wealthy who see it as an opportunity to eliminate labor costs and make everyone more pliable and stupid than they already are.
It's worth noting that the same people profiting off the current AI bubble, are the same people donating a lot of time and money to elect and maintain this regime. Have you never heard of the network state? It is rather late in the day to play the fool.

Yes and all of the credulous rubes still whinging about how they "can't imagine" how it's gotten this bad or how much worse it can get, or how "this is not who we are" at some point should no longer be taken as suckers in good faith, and at some point must rightly be viewed as either willfully complicit bad faith interlocuters, or useful idiots.

Seems like citizens are the ones who need protection from law and immigration enforcement, considering the public executions we've all witnessed in the past week or so.

Electricity generation causes emissions, which enter the air.
Cooling consumes water, as does power generation.
We are not generating this power using renewable energy. Have you looked out the window lately at what is actually happening?

Because we need air to breathe and water to drink more than we need pictures of garfield with giant tits
