It's funny how hard we have to work to convince the world that uncontrolle data centre expansion is a climate risk when there's a fossil gas power station called the EXXONMOBIL POWER PLANT being built explicitly to power a data centre
Not enough people know about Homer City. The single largest fossil fuel plant that's being built *explicitly* to power a data centre.
This isn't a future projection, or some hollow marketing. This is physical stuff happening right now.

Female NSW MPs Allegra Spender and Kellie Sloane report death and rape threats after condemning neo-Nazi rally in Sydney
Allegra Spender and Kellie Sloane report threats to police, as premier says government is investigating whether ban on Nazi symbols should be expanded
Two female MPs have reported threats they received following their condemnation of Saturday’s neo-Nazi rally outside New South Wales parliament to the police, as the premier rejected any suggestion there was a “double standard” in how the far right is dealt with compared with pro-Palestine activism.
The alleged threats against federal MP Allegra Spender and state MP Kellie Sloane, which included death threats and calls to “rhetorically rape” the federal MP, came after both took to social media to condemn Saturday’s rally, in which about 60 men clad in black called for the abolition of the “Jewish lobby”, with speakers repeating antisemitic tropes.

The space in between: mostly lost energy bc burning fossil fuels is absurdly wasteful.
So in the net zero scenario, that gaps closes to zero --->>

The Australian Taxation Office has outsourced thousands of call centre roles to private operators that pay workers significantly less than public servants and use call targets that can leave vulnerable taxpayers exposed, Guardian Australia can reveal.
The call centre contracts are shared between US private equity-owned Probe Operations, the Nasdaq-listed Concentrix Services and British multinational Serco and are collectively worth $316.5m, according to analysis of government tenders. Continue reading...
