#Tech groups score win on clean energy rules for gas-powered #datacentres
Corporate #climate watchdog drops stricter proposal on net zero claims after heavy #lobbying
The Science Based Targets initiative has decided to drop proposed rules that would have made it harder for a #datacenter group, running mostly on #fossilfuels, to claim its energy needs were entirely met by #renewable power to reach its climate goals.

#Chevron Wants a School District #TaxBreak for a #DataCenter Power Plant
#Oil company seeking tax break in Texas worth hundreds of millions of dollars to build massive power plant. Energy go to residential customers. Instead, gas plant will be used to power data center whose eventual tenant could be #Microsoft.
Potential tax abatement for project comes as big tech companies are battling rising public fury about #datacenters and electricity costs.

What is the footprint of a datacenter on global warming ? on minerals depletion ? on air quality ?

Those are some of the the root questions we need to answer to better grasp the actual footprint of tech infrastructures, including genAI, cloud services, and so on.

Life Cycle Assessment is an important methodology that enables to assess this footprint on multiple environmental criteria.

Neoclouds market themselves in terms of sustainability, sovereignty, energy innovation and efficiency.

The reality is rather different.

In #Louisiana, #DataCenter Hype Faces #AI Regulation and Community Resistance

https://www.desmog.com/2026/05/08/in-louisiana-data-center-hype-faces-ai-regulation-and-community-resistance/

With #Meta 's new Manhattan-sized project slated for the state, lawmakers are pushing new restrictions on artificial intelligence even as the Trump administration threatens to withhold broadband funding in response.

🏢⚡ As data centers evolve into mission-critical infrastructure for the #AI era, protecting the power, cooling, and building systems that keep them running is no longer optional.

Our Ultimate Buyer’s Guide for Data Center Cybersecurity breaks down what to look for in a CPS protection platform to efficiently protect critical OT, IoT, BMS, and your entire ecosystem.

First, AI companies exploit their workers.

Now, they want to exploit their resources.

Microsoft's massive Kenya AI data center would require switching off 'half the country' to meet power requirements, government says — $1 billion project stalls over capacity disagreements and lack of infrastructure

#AI #datacenter drained 30M gallons of #water unnoticed — until residents complained about low water pressure — without initially paying for it.
Residents in Fayetteville, Georgia, noticed low water pressure last year. The utility discovered two unaccounted-for water connections at one of the nation’s largest data center campuses.
Officials refuse to fine builders of massive 6.2 million-square-foot facility over unauthorized water use.

US-Stromerzeuger dreht wegen Rechenzentren 50.000 Menschen den Saft ab

https://www.n-tv.de/wirtschaft/US-Stromerzeuger-dreht-wegen-Rechenzentren-50-000-Menschen-den-Saft-ab-id30819866.html

> Unternehmen in den USA investieren Hunderte Milliarden Dollar in Künstliche Intelligenz. Das sorgt für einen enormen Bedarf an Rechenzentren, die große Mengen an Energie brauchen. Normale Verbraucher ziehen deswegen immer öfter den Kürzeren - der Protest in der Bevölkerung wächst.

Wenn das so weitergeht, haben wir zwar riesige AI Datacenter, aber niemand mehr Strom für das Internet.

Kapitalismus am Limit 🤷. Sowas kann man sich kaum noch ausdenken.

The cooling transition (air → liquid → immersion) is a multi-year infrastructure shift that most market analyses under-weight. It affects everything: rack density, power distribution, data center location strategy, and ultimately who can build at scale.

#DataCenter #HPC

Sånn apropos strømforbruk og #datasenter kan jeg fortelle at som #colocation så bruker vi i gjennomsnitt 25% av den strømmen som vi har fått allokert.
Mye av grunnen til det er at våre kunder kjøper en viss mengde #strøm (som vi må holde av til dem) som de ikke bruker ikke opp. Vi kan ikke selge strømmen «igjen» til noen andre, vi vet jo ikke hva kundenes planer er - og det er krise om vi overselger og kunder i vekst ikke får det de har krav på.
Mange kunder = mye ubrukt strøm.
