Remember, "Climate Change" only matters if there is not a fuck load of $$$$ to be made (scammed) with the new (scam) business emerging. Who gives a fuck about pollution and "Climate Change" when you are in a arms race for AI?
Just more proof that they were lying to us the whole time and really did not give one fuck other than the free handouts they were getting to be "green" (also a scam).
From the post:
>Prices shot up in the country’s biggest power market – PJM Interconnection – as electricity requests from data centers exceeded existing supplies, sounding the alarm over power shortfalls, and making Fisk and other plants like it suddenly profitable. "We believe there's an economic case to keep them around, so we withdrew the retirement notice,” said Matt Pistner, senior vice president of generation at NRG, of Fisk’s eight power-generating units. The Fisk power plant is among a growing number of so-called “peaker” electric generating units being pressed into duty across the U.S. as the nation’s electrical grids struggle to keep up with growing demand from data centers powering Big Tech’s investments in artificial intelligence.
Baffling how profits matter much more than the climate, isn't it?
The real Irony will show itself after the AI boom goes away and we're left with all the dead carcasses and e-waste.
Burn baby burn.
