There was progress?
“Do it for the children”? No? 🤔
New data center construction should stop immediately.
hard to say its progress when most countries wernt doing it in the first place.
It’s funny how they’re still saying “could”, when they really should be saying “will”.
Given the grass root opposition they’re getting, there’s still a lot of “could”. It’s also been repeatedly reported as a vote loser in the current US midterm elections.
The best part is that we spent 15 years cutting emissions just so a handful of billionaires could burn the savings teaching chatbots to summarize emails nobody wanted to read. Then they’ll sell us AI powered climate solutions, funded by taxpayers, to clean up the mess. Innovation really is a beautiful circle.
Reminds me of how companies strip mine an area into a superfund site then dissolve, leaving no one whose ass we can collectively kick. Turns out we’re the only ass left.
Here’s a crazy idea, spend the money on power/network infrastructure now, and build more renewable power generation as we go.
That way, in the worst case scenario, you have cheap renewable power for a generation rather than warehouses of depreciating and unused silicon.
Wonder why they decided to run them on NG… Hmmm
Instead of giving them tax breaks, require that they produce 110% of their power themselves and exclusively through green sources. Two birds, one stone.
Ireland implemented this last year, 100% wind or solar generation match by each new data centre project.
This problem is not that hard to legislate solutions to, Americans have just cucked themselves with terrible choices.
Nah man, don’t worry. Once we get AI all powered up it’ll solve climate change for us! If not, then we can just establish a colony on the Moon to escape to once this planet is destroyed. Copium? Nah, you’re huffing copium! /j
The oligarchy doesnt care about pesky issues like the environment
Gotsta beat China!
Oh wait…
