“Energy Transfer, the oil and gas transport company behind the Dakota Access pipeline, has received requests to power 70 new data centers – a 75% rise since Trump took office, according to a new investigation by the advocacy non-profit Oil Change International (OCI) and the Guardian”

All the more reason to regulate the amounts & sources of energy used by AI, Data Centers, & cryptocurrency.

The public does not need to bankroll fossil fuel billionaires to prop up this profligate energy waste and greenhouse gas generation.

Fossil fuels are never the answer.

Very important article. I live on the front lines of fracking for data centers in Ohio. They are fracking our state parks and public lands, and passing bills to fast track building gas plants to power data centers.

'...energy transition to the energy reality...' fuck yourself off a cliff you profit-humping shithead. The 'reality' *is* the need for transition. You want more gas emissions? Go suck a tailpipe.
