The accounting is in: In Oregon there are 111 data centers. The TOTAL number of people employed at data centers is just 2,630, or 0.1% of the labor force. Those 100 data centers consumer 23% of all electricity used in Oregon. Meanwhile, electricity rates skyrocket as more centers are built.

The authentic human being is one of us who instinctively knows what he should not do and, in addition, will balk at doing it. He will refuse to do it, even if this brings down dread consequences to him and those whom he loves. This, to me, is the ultimately heroic trait of ordinary people. They say “no” to the tyrant and they calmly take the consequences of this resistance. Their deeds may be small, and almost always unnoticed, unmarked by history. Their names are not remembered, nor did these authentic humans expect their names to be remembered. I see their authenticity in an odd way: not in their willingness to perform great heroic deeds, but in their quiet refusals to commit villainies. In essence, they cannot be compelled to be what they are not.
—Philip K Dick, “How To Build A Universe That Doesn’t Fall Apart Two
Days Later” (1978) in I Hope I Shall Arrive Soon (1985)

A digital illustration based on a shoulders-up portrait photo of Little Richard from one of his early album covers. He has very tall, green-colored hair, and his head is thrown back with his mouth open, in all likelihood going 'woo' in the original. He's wearing a loudly patterned orange jacket over a light pink shirt. Lettering inside the shape of his hair reads, 'Maybe it will happen' and a jagged angular shape near his mouth contains the letters to the word 'Today'. A yellow and orange starburst shape is behind all of this.
