We're financing the burning of gas... for a U.S. tech giant... to benefit U.S. owned/aligned oil and gas corporations... When we could be financing sovereign renewables. And the country is on fire. #CDNpoli #ABpoli #Wildfires #DataCentre #Carney

Canada's National Observer @nationalobserver.com

NEW: Export Development Canada provided between $100 million and $200 million in project financing for the gas-fired plant that will power Meta's data centre in Sturgeon County, Alta., Canada's National Observer has discovered.

Gather round for the story of the Very Hungry Data Centre... 🧵 (1/4) #datacentre #ai

A parody of the Very Hungry Caterpillar by Eric Carle. Text reads "The Very Hungry Data Centre" and the image shows a large black-and-brown shape, like a rounded rectangle with the top divided into three 'towers', with a smiling face reminiscent of the Very Hungry Caterpillar in the middle - red with yellow and green eyes.

Text reads "One Sunday morning the warm sun came up and - pop! - out of nowhere came a very hungry data centre."

Image shows the VHDC on brown ground with the orange sun rising.

Text reads "On Monday he drank a quarter of the city's annual drinking water."
Image shows a blue shape, with a circle cut out of the middle, reminiscent of the foods with circles cut out in the Very Hungry Caterpillar.

Text reads "On Tuesday he ate so much that he doubled demand on the country's power-grid.
So he opened a new gas plant, just for him."
Image shows two yellow spiky shapes representing electricity, also with circles cut out of them.

New data centre will inject $250M per year into Alberta economy: Smith

Alberta Premier Danielle Smith says a new Meta data centre will pay for itself while giving a much-needed boost to the province’s economy.

WIRED @wired.com

“It’s important to point out that this isn’t content posted by third parties on Facebook or Instagram, these are ads that were reviewed, approved, and allowed to run by Meta, never encountering interference while the company collected the ad dollars.” Read the full story:

Datacentre til AI bruger mere vand end en halv milliard mennesker

Alberta’s new Meta #DataCentre will require more electricity than the entire city of Calgary — and with current policy has pushed it to be powered by natural gas. Other jurisdictions are pairing data centres with #renewables, but AB is focused on locking in increased gas usage. buff.ly/vkunKyg

Human data #auspol #datacentre #climatecrisis

Single panel editorial cartoon. Two people look tiny as they stand in front of a facility full of large data centres of a company called Data Hoarders. One says, “Just think, everything humans have ever learned or discovered, ever created or achieved, even ever thought is contained in these buildings” the other replies, “Any chance they impinge on the earth’s capacity to sustain human life?” The first one says, “No one thought of that”.

But we know the fight isn't over. Join us on July 26th, 1PM at the Vancouver Art Gallery. We'll celebrate this win, and talk about what the next steps are, and why this fight matters to so many of us. #VanPoli #Vancouver #BigTech #NoAI #BCPoli #CdnPoli #DataCentre

Good news: the rezoning for the Mt. Pleasant AI data centre has been referred back to staff, likely relaying the approval hearing until after the October election - due to "huge public interest"! Thanks to our friends at @cag938.bsky.social for the graphic! #Vancouver #VanPoli #NoAI #BigTech
