  • Except I can get utility poles free, especially if I cut them down in the form of trees. 100% under the radar, unlike diesel and fertilizer, which will get you on a watchlist.

    I’d sooner go for the data centers that operate their own turbines or generators. They’re horrifically polluting, and that stuff is expensive as fuck. You take out a turbine, that’s a major bill and not an easy thing to replace.



  • I’m liking the idea of a grassroots terrestrial version of Rods From God: use utility poles (or sections thereof), launched from a pneumatic launcher hidden inside box trucks and/or trailers. Apply some good old kinetic energy to the right inputs/outputs/interconnections and we should be good.

    But it might even be easier than that - use augers to target the data lines. I will admit I’m not sure whether such lines are typically underground, but that should be a matter of public record, no?
