Meta has faced a setback in its plan to build data centers run on nuclear power. The FT reports that CEO Mark Zuckerberg told staff last week that the land it was planning to build a new data center on was discovered to be the home of a rare bee species, which would have complicated the building process.

Even if AI turns out to be a hype cycle, getting a lot of clean energy could make it worth the hassle.

It won't.

Want to get to clean energy? Get a government with the guts to tell oil companies and car companies to get fucked.

And while they're at it they can tell the purveyors of Grand Theft Autocorrect to get fucked as well.

Yep.

Better greenwashing: actually do green things.

@ZDL for some reason they think that’s too hard

It's the usual business mindset.

Businesses never have the budget to, say, maintain their fleet of cars properly. But they have ten times the money to replace cars that broke down.
