It's only going to amplify in segments of our society that are

unaccustomed to having their jobs under threat.

Professional class.

We've seen this occur with regards to deindustrialization, with regards to blue collar workers.

That's not where this is headed.

Trades are not going to be affected by this.

There'll probably be new jobs created.

So we need to figure out and understand, you know, what that means, because it's going to be massively destabilizing.

with the folks that earn some of the more stable and larger incomes in our society.

We also need to understand the ecological impact, because in places like Florida, I think that, interestingly enough, Governor DeSantis is looking at some constraints and controls to make sure that water resources are being shepherded.

They're deeply unpopular.

Yes, certainly.

I think the driving factor is that data centers are pricing problems.

communities out of utilities.

It is creating a massive surge in costs.

My twin brother's district, and he's a congressman in Northern Virginia, they're experiencing a lot of the stuff.

So we need to make sure that we preserve space for residents.

for small and medium businesses in communities, and that they're not priced out by massive AI companies and data centers that could just buy up all the utilities and buy up the energy supply.

That's one thing that we need to account for.

Water, massive consumption of water.
