New Gas-Powered Data Centers Could Emit More Greenhouse Gases Than Entire Nations A WIRED review of permits for data center projects using natural gas and linked to OpenAI, Meta, Microsoft, and xAI shows they could emit more than 129 million tons of greenhouse gases per year.

NEW: I've been shocked by some of the numbers I've been seeing on behind-the-meter power plants for data centers, so I did a little math.

less than a dozen gas plants being built to power data centers for big tech companies could emit a maximum of nearly 130 million tons of CO2e each year (!)

Almost everything we argue about is a substitute for the thing we should be arguing about: the immense wealth & power of an oligarchic class, which captures governments, ruins lives and wrecks the living planet.
This class redirects our rage at scapegoats. To resist its lies is to resist its power.

We are 7 weeks into the most egregious stock market manipulations of our lifetime.

Orchestrated by a crooked president and his underlings.

Billions siphoned via false proclamations of ceasefires and peace talks.

With the criminals in charge, every day is a crime spree.

Just a thought: How about we stop shaming the poor for buying things that may not be essential, and start shaming the rich for making a profit off things that are essential?

I think this sums up what many people think: Scotland has improved enormously under the SNP, much more than England under the London parties in the same period. We need to protect that, as well as building for the future.

You should go straight to jail.

It seems Anas Sarwar is very concerned about potholes and ferries.

Me, I'm more focused on achieving independence.
So I'll I'll be voting:
🟨 SNP 1 (constituency)
🟩 Green 2 (list)
to keep us moving (however slowly! 😨) along the path to 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿indy.

So Starmer, over the head of the Scottish Government, vetoed a Chinese built wind turbine factory in Scotland on “security” grounds but not only ignored Mandelson’s Epstein links but that he failed his security vetting due to his Chinese links

Peter Mandelson failed his security clearance but remained in post as the Ambassador to the US.

This is an insult to the victims of Epstein who continue to be deeply affected by this scandal.

Starmer has lost all credibility. He must go.

Starmer on Sept 10th: "Full due process was followed during this appointment"

Starmer on Feb 5th: "There was then security vetting carried out independently by the security services, which is an intensive exercise that gave [Mandelson] clearance for the role"

He was lying.
