Emissions from in-house data centers of Google, Microsoft, Meta and Apple may be 💥7.62 times higher than official tally

Big tech has made some big claims about greenhouse gas emissions in recent years.
But as the rise of artificial intelligence creates ever bigger energy demands,
🔸it’s getting hard for the industry to hide the true costs of the data centers powering the tech revolution.
According to a Guardian analysis, from 2020 to 2022 the real emissions from the “in-house” or company-owned data centers of Google, Microsoft, Meta and Apple are likely about 662%
– or 7.62 times
– higher than officially reported.

(1/3) This weekend, I'm diving into Jonathan Regenstein's latest book - "A Practical Guide to Macroeconomic Data with Python" 🚀.

This book was co-authored together with Prof. Sudheer Chava and Prof. Emmanuel Alanis, and it offers two versions - one for R and the other for Python 🐍. As the title suggests, it focuses on analyzing macroeconomic data using R and Python 🎯.

Alright, got the Character and Vitals sections somewhat done. The HP section is also autocalc which makes things fairly simple. Another big thing is that the `Reload` on Ctrl+R now works and will reload the character info, recalc everything, and refresh the screen with the updated information. I still need to add a field form Temp HP, but I'll do that in a bit. #pathfinder2e #python #tui #ttrpg

Swedish public television sent a reportage asking if we are in the midst of a green #bubble about to burst

#Northvolt, the #battery factory, has huge economic problems and could be in the bridge of bankruptcy

It is a problem of expectations: have they been too optimistic about solving difficult technical problems (that seems like they have not solved yet), and too unrealistic about how many electric cars will/can be sold?

Northvolt might have been in a better place if we hadn't elected a new government that made 180° on the environment. The bonus to electric cars was scrapped and the fossil fuel prices are now among the lowest in the EU. Nuclear power has the focus, more than renewables.
in reply to Leif Samuelsson

@leffe I do agree that the current government and their nonsense policy regarding energy transition doesn't help. Although I believe there are further issues than those, global issues in the way we are framing the energy and climate change problem and the solutions.
