The most significant portion of water usage for a data centre is not for cooling on-site, it’s used during the production of power offsite, which is being consumed.
Force them to generate their own energy on-site on new projects using renewables that don’t consume water backed by battery storage.

The Ukrainian military is one of the most innovative fighting forces on earth, and its people are even more remarkable. That's exactly why our commitment to them matters more than ever.

Your regular reminder: If the Russians stop fighting, the war ends. If the Ukrainians stop fighting, their land will be occupied, their leaders will be killed, their history and language will be erased, their children will be kidnapped to serve Russia.

Godt med en artikel der tager sig tid til at forklare varmen og klimamål. Vigtigt at forstå, at kloden er alt for varm.
Der står, at er med nuværende tempo nås 2,0 i ca 2040, men opvarmningen er ikke lineær, så det bliver nok før, hvis ikke menneskeheden laver en dramatisk adfærdsændringe.

The climate crisis isn’t “coming.”
It’s here.
Record heat. Deadly floods. Vanishing ice. Collapsing ecosystems.
We don’t need more warnings.
We need courage, systems change, and action at the scale of the emergency.

#Denmark built so much wind that some blustery hours the turbines out-produce what the whole country is using.
When that happens, the extra power doesn’t sit idle. It moves through Denmark’s links into the wider European network and heads to neighbors like Germany, Norway, Sweden. #ActOnClimate

Wooden towers also solve the transportation problem for remote windy sites. Utilities in Germany and Scotland have ordered pilot units. Analysts believe timber could replace steel in thirty percent of onshore towers by 2035.
