Approving billion dollar data centers without community input is wild.
Maybe it's because big tech companies know they can't get them approved if people are aware of what's going on.

Romania has decoupled economic growth from pollution faster than anywhere else in EU. Its net greenhouse gas emissions intensity fell 88% between 1990 & 2023, so each euro’s worth of economic activity heats planet 10 times less. Emissions have plunged by 75%. www.theguardian.com/environment/...
‘The trend is irreversible’: has Romania shattered the link between economic growth and high emissions?
Emissions have plunged 75% since communist times in the birthplace of big oil – but for some the transition has been brutal

In an age of climate urgency and political inertia, Kiezblocks tell a different story: residents refusing to wait for grand masterplans, and reclaiming their own streets. Where shortcutting cars once ruled, planters and plazas now signal a new priority: places for passing time, not passing through.🔚
