Yeah, which is a solid goal! I don’t know if you know this though, but most data centers run on renewables. They’re way cheaper. Thats why there’s so many data centers in regions with hydroelectric power stations.
This reads as pretty blatant oil industry propaganda trying to shift focus away from them and onto the current thing trump has made it trendy to hate. Down with big tech, those polluters with their… entirely electric infrastructure? If you want to get pissed about this, go after crypto miners. AI actually does something, and sometimes its even something overall positive for humanity! Crypto are just leeches.
There are a bunch running on hydropower in the US pacific northwest, but also a ton which were co-located with coal-burning power plants in Virginia and Ohio.

The energy mix used by datacenters varies a LOT.
