We're fucked in BC. BC NDP government are fascist adjacent #neoliberals who are going ahead with more #CrimesAgainstHumanity when we need serious #ClimateAction & strong, #criminal consequences for #ecocide #polluters.

I'm not really surprised by this. It's pretty much the same sellout caucus as when top BC #colonial #capitalist crimes against humanity #BCNDP boss was running things(Rest in piss/shit Horgan💀). Since Eby was groomed & then kingmade by Horgan - this was bound to happen. More greasy ecocidal crimes will be happening while #BCNewDeathParty continues to greenwash & whitewash #CorporateGreed dirty deals 🤬 Supporters of BC NDP are complicit in their ongoing crimes against humanity 🏭👎💩

"Eby’s speech to convention delegates preceding the vote laid out his vision to make the province the “economic engine” of #Canada , to get “big things done” and to “build it together.” This included strong language supporting the labour movement, and followed a day of unions flexing their influence in convention debates. Dissenting voices from those seeking more #environmental protection were generally left on the losing side of debates, as the #NDP ’s focus on prioritizing the economy was clear in convention resolutions.

Despite some delegates calling the North Coast Transmission Line a “subsidy” for natural gas -fracking operations, a resolution to support it still passed. “I welcome the debate, I welcome the discussion,” Eby said. “It’s important to make sure we are addressing #climatechange and carbon #pollution. ” But overall, Eby received an enthusiastic reception and delegates were, for the most part, aligned with the government’s agenda."

Countries are struggling to meet the rising energy demands of data centers

#Mexico’s lagging energy grid is forcing companies, including #Microsoft, to use generators.

By Daniela Dib and Pablo Jiménez Arandia, 15 September 2025

Excerpt: "That Mexico’s electric grid is struggling does not bode well for a country trying to position itself as a data center hub, and which is already home to 150 #DataCenters, including from Microsoft, #AmazonWebServices, and #Google. Together, they have invested over $7 billion in the country since 2020.

"Like Mexico, countries around the world are scrambling to meet the rising energy demands of data centers, spurred by a boom in #ArtificialIntelligence and #CloudComputing. Like Microsoft, some companies have tapped alternative — and sometimes more #polluting — energy sources. Mexico’s power grid faces a deficit of 48,000 megawatt-hours by 2030, which is more than half the country’s output in 2023, according to the Mexican Institute For Competitiveness, a research center. As the country lures more data center-related investments, more companies may follow in Microsoft’s footsteps.

" 'This case is part of a broader global pattern, particularly in areas where the rapid deployment of #DigitalInfrastructure is outpacing the #EnergyGrid’s capacity,' Marina Otero Verzier, a visiting professor at Columbia University who researches data centers, told Rest of World. 'In some cases, corporations frame fossil-fueled generators as temporary solutions, which, over time, become normalized.'

"Microsoft set up its data center last year in #ColónMexico, an industrial hub with a population of over 67,000 people, but was unable to plug into the country’s energy grid, which is itself largely powered by #FossilFuels. In documents filed to Mexico’s environmental secretariat in 2023, Microsoft said the grid would not be fully operative to the company until mid-2027 due to 'long construction times required in [Microsoft’s] contract with CFE,' referring to the Federal Electricity Commission. The following year, the secretariat approved Microsoft’s request to use seven generators to temporarily power its data center.

"A spokesperson for Microsoft declined to comment on how the company is powering its data centers in Mexico now, and whether it will continue using generators.

"Worldwide, nearly 60% of the electricity used by data centers comes from fossil fuels including #NaturalGas. #Renewables including #solar and #wind meet more than a quarter of the demand, according to the International Energy Agency. But while the share of renewable energy is increasing, the rapid growth in the demand for data centers is outpacing the expansion of renewable energy infrastructure, posing a challenge to the climate goals of countries and tech companies alike."

"How to track the super polluters next door

A new interactive map and groundbreaking database allows people in the world’s largest metropolitan areas to track their air pollution exposure, along with their region’s biggest sources of planet-warming pollution.

The tool, which depicts air pollution plumes and their sources, is the work of a nonprofit coalition of scientists, universities and nongovernmental groups called Climate TRACE. The group says the tool is a breakthrough in showing the biggest sources of air pollution down to the facility level for about 2,500 urban areas worldwide.

The new data, which combines hazardous air pollutants known as PM2.5 and greenhouse gases, taps into Climate TRACE’s global inventory of more than 660 million sources of global warming pollutants.

The researchers found that air pollution 'super emitters' — facilities that are in the top 10% of all PM2.5 pollution sources by volume — expose a disproportionate amount of people to hazardous air.
