If we went with their ‘make the AI companies pay for it’ idea I fear we would be in the same place we were with the carbon offset bs. We need an overall reduction in greenhouse gasses quickly. Adding a bunch of new renewable capacity but dedicating it all to data centers doesn’t reduce our existing emissions and even without the electricity issue scaling data centers costs real resources that we need elsewhere, not just the make believe money the AI billionaires have mutually created out of thin air.
