I think most peep here on #Fedi already know this, but we can never get tired of saying it:” You probably could do worse than say that the March GDP figures suggest Australia’s economic growth will “push up power prices, prolong the use of polluting coal power stations, increase gas generation, and derail the progress we are making towards our climate goals”.

That quote, however, was not about the GDP but by the Climate Council talking about the boom in datacentres.” (Source: The Guardian)

Australia’s GDP figures are meaningless when the boom in datacentres means destroying jobs and the climate

In the March quarter Australia’s economy grew 0.3%. But the real issue is what drove that growth
