We call ourselves "intelligent," yet the humblest fungus can decompose waste and build soil, a tree can harness solar energy, and a wetland can purify water—all without toxic byproducts. True intelligence is learning from these systems, not bulldozing them.

I absolutely guarantee that you don't know the half of the story of Firmus and its massive data centre project in Tasmania. @louisemorris.bsky.social perfectly outlines the energy, political and climate dynamics of DC development in Aus here: thepoint.com.au/opinions/260...
Firmus markets itself relentlessly as a clean energy company. Its website describes Project Southgate as “renewable-powered” and talks about benefiting Australia. But renewable power is only as abundant as the grid it draws from. When a small island state with a constrained hydro system hands hundreds of megawatts to a foreign-headquartered AI company, the renewable credentials are essentially a greenwashing branding exercise built on public infrastructure.

The call is growing to have called for immediate regulatory guardrails – a moratorium on new approvals until proper planning frameworks exist, energy efficiency verification, and genuine transparency about what deals have been struck.

Those seem like the minimum. What we need is a proper public accounting of who benefits and who does not from this AI data centre rush.

Boyer Mill asked for 50 megawatts to stop burning coal and protect hundreds of Tasmanian jobs. The grid said no. An AI startup backed by Nvidia and Blackstone, incorporated in Singapore, asked for 104 megawatts to build a facility for offshore cloud clients. The deal was done before anyone could ask the question.

That’s not an energy policy. That’s a government choosing winners in secret and hoping nobody notices.
