Ryan Wilson

@PennyStockLane @sts1956 @Investanswers @elonmusk @realDonaldTrump James has become so fiercely loyal to Elon and the MAGA ideology that he completely loses objectivity whenever they are fairly criticized.

@Ryan_Wilson_52 @sts1956 @Investanswers @elonmusk @realDonaldTrump Yes, I understand your point, and I wish he was a little more capable of mature discussion. His replies are frequently disrespectful, even when he's not being attacked.

for the children that do not understand the science: eg xAI’s Colossus supercomputer in Memphis nternal closed loops → water recirculates indefinitely with negligible consumption. Reclaimed wastewater source even the evaporative part doesn’t deplete or touch drinking water supplies. It repurposes water that was already “used” by the city aka BROWN WATER.

@TomCrown Absolutely. The power grid upgrades they require are massive, spiking utility bills for regular folks and straining local environments. Having sold power equipment to greenhouses, I've seen the grid strain firsthand and they use a fraction of the energy data centers do.

data centers should NEVER be subsidized by tax payers period

@PennyStockLane @sts1956 @Investanswers @elonmusk @realDonaldTrump James pivoted to water, but my point was about ENERGY. Data centers pull massive, continuous load, far more than the greenhouses where they strained residents and the environment. The concern is energy impact, not reclaimed water.

@sts1956 @Investanswers @elonmusk @realDonaldTrump Read Ryan Wilson's post series above. He's an expert in the field that James called a child.

@ndshiba @MemotheDane @Investanswers There are bigger concerns at stake than what you are stating. That is where my mind is at. I respect the dialogue . Take care

@Ryan_Wilson_52 @MemotheDane @Investanswers You seem sincere in your views. Let me ask you a question. If AI centers paid fully for the incremental cost of energy and water, would you still be against their creation?

And remember: there are VERY few, if any, data centers launching in blue states — the kWh rates are already absolutely brutal. And don’t even get me started on the water FUD. Total BULLSHIT.

@NewsAsset The Dems have egg on their face from SBF. Then you add the lack of regulatory clarity along with Trump and his administration doing shady practices feeds into this narrative unfortunately.

One thing is clear - Dems will not let this pass. Ben McKenzie is on a nationwide tour of shows and podcasts to remind the audience just how evil crypto is. He's wrong but it won't matter. People hear what they want to hear. Trump = Bad Crypto = Bad Let me call my senator...

@ndshiba @MemotheDane @Investanswers Your math and logic are completely flawed. You’re intentionally going on tangents because you can’t address my original point. I recommend you review the original point again.

Let's do some easy math. I am a sole proprietor that has increased sales in the past year by $100k. I've doubled the amt and quality of work I can do solely because of AI. If you extrapolate this by 14k people similarly leveraging AI, you equal the output of Leamington. Where do you think my and other entrepreneurs money goes once WE earn it? Elon? Good grief.

@ndshiba @MemotheDane @Investanswers Back on point, you still haven't brought any data to refute me. ​My experience selling power equipment to greenhouses proves they use a fraction of the power of AI centers. Pushing data centers close to residents ruins neighborhoods and strains our public utilities.

@Ryan_Wilson_52 @MemotheDane @Investanswers You're kidding. OGVG, estimates $1.4B US annual revenue for Leamington on 2,000 acres of land. Colossus 1? Less than 1,500 acres. This is the economic benefit you're comparing to the increased revenue generated by me and others using AI from that data center? Looney Tunes

@ndshiba @MemotheDane @Investanswers Like I said, I sold power equipment into the area, so I know a bit about the infrastructure demands firsthand. Now please show comparable data proving a 300 MW AI center creates the same regional economic spillover as Leamington’s greenhouse sector.

@Ryan_Wilson_52 @MemotheDane @Investanswers Good. If you'd be so kind to share a link to that $1-$2M/hectare data, I'd appreciate it

@ndshiba @MemotheDane @Investanswers Using Leamington’s own numbers, the greenhouse sector generates roughly $1.2M per hectare in farm gate value alone, though it fluctuates with yields and commodity prices.

@ndshiba @MemotheDane @Investanswers And what studies are you bringing to the table for yours? I know what you are trying to do. aionappraisals.ca/locations/leam…

@ndshiba @MemotheDane @Investanswers Greenhouses generate $1–$2M/hectare in local economic activity. AI may create value too, but your equation ignores the socialized costs. The upside flows to tech elites like Elon Musk, while taxpayers and ratepayers subsidize massive grid upgrades.

@Ryan_Wilson_52 @MemotheDane @Investanswers How much? Put a dollar value on it. If you can't you're just blowing smoke. And as a 67-year old, self-employed person working from my home, nothing has brought greater leverage and value to my economy than AI. I can afford to support local businesses because of it.

@ndshiba @MemotheDane @Investanswers Greenhouses feed people & pump millions into the local economy via payroll.A data center hogs the same grid, creates almost NO local jobs & forces residents to subsidize their power lines. Gross tech revenue means nothing if locals get stuck with the bills & money goes to elites

@Ryan_Wilson_52 @MemotheDane @Investanswers So you wrote a lot of words but didn't answer the question. What is the $ value of the output of a greenhouse(s) versus a data center that consumes a relative equivalency of energy, land and water? If you can't answer that how can you judge the value of either?

@ndshiba @MemotheDane @Investanswers Food security & permanent jobs less prone to weather. Plus, we actually have stricter environmental regulations here to manage it. What James wants creates almost no long term jobs, but the taxpayer, ratepayer, & environmental costs of these data centers will be astronomical.

@Ryan_Wilson_52 @MemotheDane @Investanswers And what is the economic value created by greenhouses compared to data centers?

@ChewieWins @Investanswers Are you serious you need one when there are several out there? Let me respond with this clip because it's so painfully obvious. Can't wait for you asking me for studies why the sun rises in the East and sets in the West youtu.be/ELV5HV6-koI?si…

@Ryan_Wilson_52 @Investanswers Do share studies of such light pollution causing harm?

@Investanswers This is near a National Park where this light is emitting. After seeing this, James, don't you think this messes up residents, the environment, and the local ecology?

@Investanswers This is from a marijuana greenhouse

@MemotheDane @Investanswers My mistake greenhouses are less energy intensive than AI data centers.

@MemotheDane @Investanswers James is wrong about this. I used to sell power equipment to greenhouses that are located close to a national park. It will mess up the residents and the environment. By the way, greenhouses are less energy intensive than greenhouses.
