GND#54 Bek MacIntosh-Canada's Largest Ai Data Center-Olds AB Concerns Of Environmental Impacts

Rebecca MacIntosh moved to Olds, Alberta from rural Ontario in hopes of living the small town life. Surrounded by like-minded neighbours, from blue collar, to farmers and ranchers former corporate hustlers and nature, LOTS of nature. Enter Synapse Data Center-the largest hyperscale ai hub of its kind currently proposed for Bek's new lovely town. The catch? It's IN TOWN. Literally. She is currently the loudest voice vehemently opposed to this project, given the sheer size, over 300 acres, and power required to run this thing. The power includes over 600 diesel generators, a battery plant, and water, lots and lots of water, for cooling. We dive into exactly what this beast is, and its potential harms but most importantly the speed at which this thing is being proposed to approval. She is wondering, where exactly is the scrutiny, when is our world famous regulatory framework going to enter the fray? So far, it has not. Is there corruption going on here? Why the big push? Is this simply a provincial agenda for Danielle Smith in conjunction with Mark Carney and the Global Elites? Or is this simply a town looking to cash in? Before this sit down, I had virtually no knowledge on this subject and I wasn't necessarily opposed to data centres, but building one of this size and magnitude so close to town, raises many question. We get into it all folks. This will not disappoint! Follow Me ON: Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/greatnorthe...
