About this Episode

From Amazon to Apple, Big Tech is pouring trillions into infrastructure, but who is actually paying the price? The team breaks down how these massive facilities are straining limits on the Texas power grid and consuming alarming amounts of local water - all while residential energy costs skyrocket by 73%. We also discuss why PC gamers and tech enthusiasts are about to suffer as GPU and RAM prices surge due to AI demand.

Then, Brazos and Joseph put their investigator hats on. They perform a deep-dive OSINT (Open Source Intelligence) look into "Infrakey" - a company buying up land in Lacy Lakeview, Texas. They uncover a web of shell companies, law firms, and questionable filings that suggest there's more to these land deals than meets the eye.

In this episode, we discuss:

  • The "ET STAY HOME" Review: Is it beer or juice?
  • The Trillion Dollar Bet: Why Big Tech is panicked about AI infrastructure.
  • The Utility Crisis: How data centers drain local water aquifers and spike electric bills.
  • Hardware Inflation: Why 32GB of RAM costs 5x what it did last year.
  • Local Corruption?: The controversy of the Lacy Lakeview city council vote.
  • Investigation: Who is behind "Infrakey" and where is the money coming from?
  • The "Lawnmower in the Living Room": Noise pollution and imminent domain fears.

Are data centers a boom for the economy or a drain on the community? Let us know your thoughts in the comments.
