Too destructive to allow

It has become obvious, over the last three years, that so-called "generative AI" is both an extreme resource hog, both power and water-wise, and poses issues such as the mass theft of information and art, significant reduction in jobs, and is contributing directly to the joblessness of many young Canadians and the destruction of the fabric of reality as we know it.

Providing for a new power plant fueled by non-renewable sources solely to fuel such a destructive form of technology is patently unacceptable. Job creation and financial benefits that'll likely flow down to relevant government stakeholders are minimal, most profits stemming from data centres going directly to fuel an unsustainable stock market bubble waiting to crash, whilst the destruction caused, whether environmental or social, will be massive. This project should be rejected, and all future "power for AI data centre" projects as well, for similar reasons.
