#Google to tap into gas plant for #AIDatacenter in sharp turn from climate goals
#Texas power plant would emit 4.5m tons of carbon dioxide per year, more than that of the entire city of San Francisco
Dara Kerr, Thu 2 Apr 2026
"According to Crusoe’s 465-page permit application, the power plant would emit as much as 4.5m tons of carbon dioxide, a primary driver of climate change, per year. For comparison, the entire city of San Francisco emits about 4m tons of carbon dioxide annually."

Keep an eye on those oil company quarterly earnings reports!
Because of course they do. 🤦♂️
Heaven forbid we would allow our #FossilFools master’s sales to fall or their profits to slip. Gotta take more money out of the system that provides services like healthcare or education to the people that pay for them!
The Australian Prime Minister made a nationwide address to tell people that they should consider using public transport.
A bare minimum response to an unfolding crisis and yet it is still so much more than anything the NZ government has done.
@abc_bot oh really? would they be the same types of cockies who spent decades supporting liebs & nuts as they railed against climate science & climate action? hmmmmm?

The Prime Minister is reassuring the public about the ongoing crisis. He's spoken to the suppliers: fuel is on its way, as promised.
The Finance Minister stands next to him, as he recounts his oh-so-many important phone calls. The contracts that will keep the precious dinosaur juice flowing.
She looks at the journalists in the theatrette, "It'll be fine" she tells herself. "We got this. Contracts will be honoured, they're sacred documents."
Her phone vibrates in her pocket. She quickly glances at it. It's a text message.
From a Korean number.
A cold sweat runs down her spine.
The text message reads:
"We find it unusual to renege on formal agreements via text message, but as you did before with the ferries, we regret to inform you..."
Not a Wayne Brown fan by any stretch, but it is remarkable that he is the closest we currently have to the Voice of Reason on #publicTransport for Auckland.
"To pay people to carry on doing exactly what they did before, when we know it's not a good idea to have everyone driving into the city, strikes me as dumb, really."
Imagine if our government cared about facts, evidence or doing things that actually helped.
"the Government’s fuel payment is budgeted at $373 million for a full year, about $93 million per quarter, and it does not reduce a single litre of consumption. For a comparable price tag, free public transport delivers household relief, cuts fuel demand, eases congestion, and stretches our limited reserves."
