You say we like it’s everyone. It isn’t.

My province in Canada had the electricity provider cap how much gets allocated to new data centers per year at a sustainable number.

Regulation instead of outright bans are the correct path forward.

I’m just going to leave the quote from the first key article take away (the second full sentence after the headline) to justify my use of the word “we”

Sixty planned US data centers will emit 101.5 million tons of CO2 annually once operational.

  Are you saying that states can’t regulate this? They absolutely can.

    Nah. I’m agreeing with you that AI data centers aren’t as much of a problem in Canada because it appears that they are regulating them.

    Except for Alberta, which totally tracks because it’s the Texas of Canada.
