DNA data storage is about to make half these data centers obsolete. We are building a bunch of wasteful shit that will be obsolete in 5 to 10 years.

I fail to see how all these datacentres will be able to operate with such delicate energy infrastructure.

They just build new powerplants at tax/ratepayers' expense, and then cut deals with local governments to give themselves 95% of the electricity they produce, to "bring more jobs to the community".
They're already doing it.

Nah, they wouldn't be doing this if they didn't think it would last at least a few decades. Besides, most of the equipment and infrastructure here can be liquidated and repurposed for other things.
