  1. The AI data centre shenanigans in Alberta are getting more outlandish. More than 12,000 people attended a virtual town hall meeting, with many more left hanging when they weren’t invited to join the conference call.

    Municipalities are hiding behind non-disclosure agreements, repeating marketing slogans directly from company promotions, and some are even signing agreements to act as agents for data centre proponents while also regulating them. Isn’t that a conflict of interest?

    It’s the wild west for data centre developers with little or no guardrails for water use, electricity prices, farmland protection, noise/air pollution, greenhouse gas emissions or local community benefits.

    It’s the perfect environment for misinformation to thrive.

  9. AI Data Centers Now Use 4% of US Electricity, Heading for 9%

    Data centers already consume 4% of US electricity and are projected to reach 9% by 2030 as AI hyperscalers issue record bond debt and utilities ramp infrastructure spending to over $200 billion annually.

  18. New 4000 km #HVDC line will transport #WindPower electricity between Canada and Europe: 6 Gigawatts (3 pairs of 2GW conductors).

    “Interconnection would help immensely with both demand and supply variability, really smoothing out grids on both sides of the Atlantic... Europe is asleep when North America is still awake and vice versa, so contrasting power demand profiles match up well too.”

  24. Only about half of the data centre decision-makers surveyed said they were holding public forums or investing in local initiatives, while recent national polling shows that only 33% of developers are addressing grid reliability, and only 29% are responding to water consumption concerns.

    The report authors suggest “a disconnect between engagement efforts and community priorities.”

    You’d think data centre developers would pay attention to communities…but, no. I guess at least $64 billion, 18 state bills and 86 local moratoriums proposed across the U.S. isn’t enough to convince them?

  38. Communities are speaking loud and clear about their concerns about AI data centres, but the proponents don’t appear to be listening.

    The amount of investment being blocked is astounding, yet a new survey reveals that the people pushing data centres are mainly focused on power, whether it’s access to the electricity grid or onsite power plants.

    There’s, at best, a 50-50 chance they’re even talking to the community or making the effort to consider local benefits.
