grok is running off inefficient turbine generators in memphis, churning out air pollution while being cooled by drinking water from the aquifer instead of the grey water plant that musk promised but did not build.

please do not use grok.

    Not defending nazi or his platform, but is it really a big deal if green energy source is inefficient?

    They're "natural gas" (Propane/methane) burning turbine generators, not wind turbines if that's what you're getting confused.

    Yeah "natural gas" is like "natural" oil.

    I've always found the petroleum distillate "Mineral spirits" to be oddly named in the same way. Also, if you're from the US, canola is rapeseed oil of a specific variety that they rebranded as a combination of "Canada" and "oil" because rapeseed didn't sit well with customers. There's a lot of power in what we call things.
