  Just resharing this because it's clearly needed: Australia's data centre hotspots have nearly twice the grid emissions intensity as America's data centre hotspots.

  The first genuinely honest ad for generative AI I've ever seen, from Microsoft / CoPilot A mediocre white guy sees his non-white colleague getting praised for good work, he asks AI to *literally copy it*, and then he gets all the praise instead: www.ispot.tv/ad/SoDi/micr...

  In fifteen years, the UK has deleted coal power from their power system, halved fossil gas use, replaced most of that with wind and solar, and the country has not suffered the hellish blackout apocalypse conservatives and media outlets promised would happen. ember-energy.org/data/electri...

  Let me tell you the tale of the single worst LinkedIn post ever posted, and what it means about Norway's climate psyche. Courtesy of the head of Norway's oil fund, Nicolai Tangen.

  I don't think melting thousands of video cards inside a big air conditioned building is a good way to manage the integration of solar power into a grid. If you care about decarbonisation and fossil fuel elimination, all this does is shift the finish line further away. Data centres are already helpi...

  I'm late to this but holy hell, I could write an entire book about this single screenshot. The way the image just perfectly captures the journalists doing luxury, disengaged hand-wringing about blackouts while the ACTUAL THREAT plays out in front of their eyes.

  How odd: the federal opposition, QLD gov't, the data centre lobby and a random corporate lobbyist all saying data centres shouldn't be subject to climate regulations, all within days. Must just be a coincidence :)

  So.......how the hell did the New York Times get Australia's AI data centre story so wildly wrong? Albanese's new AI rules **WORSEN** their position by allowing more room for gas Check out my new piece at @thepointau.bsky.social@bsky.brid.gy for all the lovely, gory details thepoint.com.au/opinions/260...

  A quick hot take on Albanese's AI plan from a climate / energy perspective: ultimately nothing new, but reading between the lines, a hint at weakening a 100% clean standard specifically to allow for gas. www.pm.gov.au/media/ai-aus...

  NEW BLOG FOR YOU Google's energy consumption numbers in their new climate report are mind-blowing. 2 years ago they flipped from linear to exponential growth, and their climate impact is blowing out, too. A WILD testament to the obscene bloat and waste of GenAI: ketanjoshi.co/2026/07/01/g...

  As a rough calculation, if we assume 5 billion text generation programs are running continuously, and assume IEA's 50 watt hours per 5 calls (4 to 6) and 5 calls every ten minutes, it would consume the same amount of electricity as 40% of the entire planet. Calcs: docs.google.com/spreadsheets...

  "We missed our road deaths target this year, so I'm going to break the speed limit every time every time I drive" Amazing logic here from Woodside and WA government. Also an example of how technocratic target-brain dulls the senses to the incremental harm of every tonne of additional emissions.

  Absolutely 100% predictable that Aus media would be going wild for biofuels right now, and the industry's clearly exploiting about that. If a solution is fundamentally non-transformative, and doesn't challenge the status quo, it gets an uncritical airing. Also see: CCS / carbon removal

  You don't have to obey anyone's framing. Calling them British Petroleum. Call it a chatbot instead of "artificial intelligence". Use real emissions, not adjusted for offsets or certificates. It's all allowed!!!

  Public service announcement: this is a FOSSIL FUEL CRISIS Not an 'energy crisis'. People need energy: it keeps them alive. This is a crisis due to forced dependency on the most unreliable and unstable fuel product in human history. THIS IS A FOSSIL FUEL CRISIS.
