Naw mate, they just want the resources to go into AI and massive surveillance/data storage...

100% ~ I live in Texas where the Stargate project has just drained 1/2 a billion gallons of water from the City of Abilene, which is already a drought prone area.

This is also *not* limited to Texas or the UK. Coming to a city or rural area near you!
