Ex X twit. Too old for social media. Grumpy old man in training. Together Union. Rescinded Labor affiliation due to Woodside expansion. Follows are not necessarily endorsements. Out with the old, in with the renewables. No new stadiums.

Hyper-scale data centre could draw quarter of Queensland's power usage
The proposed $30 billion data centre in Queensland has a peak capacity comparable to the average power requirements of 1.5 million households.
