"In analyzing both public and proprietary data about data centers as a whole, as well as the specific needs of AI, the researchers came to a clear conclusion. Data centers in the US used somewhere around 200 terawatt-hours of electricity in 2024, roughly what it takes to power Thailand for a year."
"AI-specific servers in these data centers are estimated to have used between 53 and 76 terawatt-hours of electricity. On the high end, this is enough to power more than 7.2 million US homes for a year."
"We heard from several other researchers who say that their ability to understand the emissions and energy demands of AI are hampered by the fact that AI is not yet treated as its own sector.
"The US Energy Information Administration, for example, makes projections and measurements for manufacturing, mining, construction, and agriculture, but detailed data about AI is simply nonexistent."

"Martha Hall Findlay called for Canada to abandon the carbon capture and storage hub that was meant to be a centrepiece of the 'grand bargain' in the MOU, after acknowledging that she’d 'devoted several years of my life' to building the original industry alliance that pushed the project forward.'"
"It was an abrupt turnaround from her reaction when the MOU was signed."
“'The support wasn’t always there… to have those two [Carney and Smith] in those roles talk about how absolutely critical the Pathways project will be to making all of this happen, I felt like I wanted to cry,' she told CBC at the time."

The controversial memorandum of understanding (MOU) on fossil fuel development between the federal and Alberta governments has undergone a dramatic metamorphosis, with the fossil companies it was meant to serve fighting hard to blow it up, while climate hawks who broadly opposed it try to preserve key elements of the deal.
In a shock to absolutely nobody...
Russia and US are amplifying Alberta Separatist narratives. Almost like this is what they do. Same with the convoy...

"...Dufresne said the case reinforces the need to modernize Canada’s privacy laws.
As AI is increasingly being integrated into personal and professional applications and while currently laws apply to AI, updated laws would help further support the safe deployment of new technologies to protect Canadians’ fundamental right to privacy."
"The investigation predates the fatal shooting in Tumbler Ridge, B.C. in February, but comes amid calls for the government to introduce regulations targeting AI chatbots."
"Seven lawsuits on behalf of those killed or injured in the rampage have been filed in California accusing OpenAI and its co-founder Sam Altman of negligence."
"...despite some 12 different OpenAI employees imploring the company to notify Canadian law enforcement about the shooter’s plans, nothing else was done"
