Scientists have found an alarming #EnvironmentalImpact of vast #DataCenters

Story by Laura Paddison, March 30, 2026

Excerpt: "They found surface temperatures increased by an average of 3.6 degrees Fahrenheit after a data center started operations. In extreme cases, nearby temperatures increase by up to 16.4 degrees Fahrenheit.

"These increases were consistent across the globe, the researchers found. In #Mexico’s #Bajio region, for example, which has become a data center hub, the study found unexplained temperature rises of around 3.6 degrees over the last 20 years. A similar situation was seen in #AragonSpain, a European center for #hyperscale #AIDataenters, which recorded a temperature increase of 3.6 degrees which was not replicated in neighboring provinces.

"Strikingly, the impacts weren’t limited to a data center’s immediate surroundings; temperature increases affected areas up to 6.2 miles away, the research found, affecting more than 340 million people.

"The findings are particularly alarming, the scientists say, because AI data centers are set to boom over the next few years, and these temperature rises come as planet-warming pollution is already making #HeatWaves more extreme around the world."

A lot of people at work and at home have information in the "cloud." Between hyperscaler and edge data centers, this information can be stored and used in different and quicker ways to the scale needed by the client/customer. #hyperscale #edgedatacenter #cloud #information #data

#Datacenters planned for #Scotland could drain a loch of power, collectively requiring 75 percent as much energy as the entire country currently consumes, according to tech campaign group Foxglove.
The nonprofit says its research indicates that 11 #hyperscale bit barns planned for construction across Scotland (bit bothies?) would require a total of 2,000 to 3,000 MW of electricity to operate, while the current peak demand for the country is 4 gigawatts (4,000 MW).

Power availability shapes future data center plans #DataCenter #Hyperscale

#US hyperscalers to guzzle 22% more grid juice by end of 2025
#Hyperscale #datacenters will consume 22% more energy by end of #2025 than a year ago, and are forecast to need nearly 3x as much #electricity by end of decade. Warnings about datacenters rising energy draw are coming thick and fast of late, and this latest one from #451Research (S&P Global) comes with figures and cautions about how fast this change may occur and what grid resources will be required to meet it.

So on Wednesday we basically won. The #Tucson city council voted to totally KILL the proposed Amazon-operated #hyperscale #datacenter known as "Project Blue". In fact, the vote was *unanimous* to kill it, including the mayor.

This is a great summary and collection of coverage about the whole saga.

of course it's not totally over, there wil be other attempts to build these monstrosities in our area, and all over the place. But this is an inspiring victory.

Here's my go-to cheatsheet for troubleshooting issues in Fedora:

1. Disable SELinux
