AI sucks up way too much power & water & raw materials. Most energy used in its data centres is sourced from fossil fuels which results in the expansion of harmful greenhouse gases. AI sucks, period, because the environment & sustainability of AI is getting much too little attention.

The economic sense is so extremely in favour of renewables now, Pakistan is even paying Qatar penalties to rather NOT deliver the fossil gas that Pakistan already placed orders for, because their Solar PV and batteries make much more sense.
It saves them money to cancel their gas imports and pay!

So Pakistan is *paying* Qatar to *not* deliver LNG because even including this penalty payment their solar PV and battery spending is much better value for money and saves them billions.
How fascinating!
