Elon Musk announced he will build the largest super computer in Memphis. No sooner was the announcement made that, according to ABC News, environmental groups are complaining about the environmental impact.

As far as I’m concerned, let him bring the thing down into Desoto County. We can put up with a few environmental problems. We can also gladly tolerate all the new jobs, not to mention the increase in property values. If push comes to shove, we’ll build him a solar battery farm. That ought to make the going green folks happy.

Then, when they find out about all the money and jobs floating down this way, maybe next time, they won’t be so quick to complain. If they should try, they might get a boot in their mouth from a fellow Memphian. You know, the one who lost a chance to work on the big computer that headed south.

The fact is, it has nothing to do with going green but rather control. They are complaining because they have no control over it nor do they get any wealth from it.
