We are a top global exporter of fossil fuels for export, and Labor shows no signs of listening to the science by stopping coal and gas approvals - in fact, in the environmental reforms recently, they wanted to speed them up! Meanwhile, the global south bears the brunt of climate disasters.

Really nice to chat to @petrastock.bsky.social about what data centres are doing to Australia's climate ambitions!! More on this from me coming very soon!!! www.theguardian.com/australia-ne...
‘Running harder to stay in the same spot’
Joshi, who has been tracking the issue globally, says datacentres are large, inflexible loads on the power grid which have two clear impacts: they increase reliance on coal and gas generation, and they siphon resources away from the energy transition.

Datacentre companies often claim they run on clean energy by investing in solar or windfarms, but Joshi says there is often a mismatch between their near-constant draw on the grid and the generation profile of renewable energy.

“What is the net effect on the power grid?” he asks. “Well, sometimes you’re going to have a surplus of energy, and sometimes you’re going to have not enough.

“So, even though on paper it all kind of works out, there are some times when that datacentre is actually helping fossil fuels to be dispatched.”

And, instead of the new renewables eating into the share of coal and gas, these generators are serving the growing needs of datacentres, Joshi says: “It’s like running harder just to stay in the same spot because the treadmill is getting quicker.”

Google plans to put datacentres in space to meet demand for AI

The electricity demands are so great that some companies have paid to restart mothballed US nuclear power stations, and demand for gas turbines has increased. Some developers in Australia have proposed installing new gas generators to service their needs.

Before AI, reality and truth had a built-in advantage. That has now gone. AI is going to be a full-on catastrophe for our shared sense of reality, and for areas in which truth utterly matters (eg climate, pandemics, AI…).
