"All these new #DataCentres for these #BigTech behemoths, all of them effectively saying 'we could not possibly use #RenewableEnergy. We could not use this #AI data centre boom to fund and actually create the #EnergyTransition. It MUST be the old, world burning stuff.' It blows my mind regularly."

The powers that be seem as determined to dot the landscape with #DataCentres as citizens around the world & across the partisan divide seem increasingly determined to stop them. We dig in with our good friend @jennyyeremiy.bsky.social of @www.thegravitywell.net! www.podcastics.com/episode/4297...

This levy would fund energy credits for every household, which combined with price controls would put money back in people's pockets NOW, and cut out profiteering going forward. We need a ban on data centres. They're literally consuming our water and energy at the expense of all of us.

The #EuropeanCommission unveiled new #sustainability rules for #datacentres, aiming to monitor their #energy and #water consumption. While the new rules include a sustainability label for data centres with over 500 kW of installed capacity, minimum performance standards will only be introduced in 2027. The EU is grappling with an #energycrisis and the rapid expansion of #datacentres, which are seen as a growing source of #electricitydemand. https://www.euronews.com/my-europe/2026/09/21/eu-moves-to-curb-energy-and-water-for-data-centres?eicker.news #tech #news #ainews

ACT Chief Minister rejects proposal to co-locate data centres with public swimming pools for waste heat recovery
The ACT Chief Minister, Andrew Barr, has firmly rejected the proposal put forward by the ACT Greens to co-locate data centres with public swimming pools in Canberra to utilise waste heat for heating purposes. The Greens had suggested that data centres could be placed alongside public pools to use their cooling water as a heating source, potentially reducing heating costs for council-owned pools. Barr argued that public swimming pools should be planned, protected, and developed for recreational and health purposes, and that locating data centre infrastructure on public aquatic sites in suburban areas was inappropriate. The proposal was part of a broader debate on the ACT's approach to data centres, which included calls for more intensive community consultation and a data centre levy to capture the value of the artificial intelligence boom for the community. The Greens also highlighted the example of Deep Green, a tech start-up that has attracted significant investment for projects offering free heat from data centres to warm swimming pools. According to the BBC, a Deep Green data centre the size of a washing machine produced enough heat to keep a 25-metre indoor pool at 30 degrees for about 60 per cent of the time, saving the council-owned pool thousands of pounds in heating costs. The ACT government has faced community pressure over outdoor swimming pools, with residents frustrated by the lack of progress on reopening the Big Splash water park in Macquarie and the redevelopment of the 50-metre outdoor pool at Phillip. The government has stated that a promised data centre strategy will prioritise water security and clear planning rules, while also supporting the centres' ability to create jobs and economic growth. The strategy will also consider building future data centres alongside renewable energy and battery storage projects, with consultation already underway and a draft framework expected early next year. Barr formally advised ACT Greens leader Jo Clay that Labor was opposed to the proposal, and the government has indicated it will develop a data centre framework designed to protect residential areas, housing, and water resources.
