One Microsoft data center in West Virginia could raise the company's emissions 44%: report Microsoft’s use of 1.35  gigawatts of processing power in West Virginia will be entirely powered by emissions-producing natural gas.

@microsoft.com can’t claim to be a leader on climate and then build out massive fossil-fuel facilities that emit millions of tons of climate pollution and poison the people living next door.

Except that's exactly what they're doing.

When you think about the new student loan repayment system (Plan 5 loans) & the 40 year repayment term what we are really saying is that students will repay their debts for the vast majority of their working lives, until their early 60s. They will have maybe 10-15 years of working life without debt.
