This news coming right off the back of AI data centres being announced for BC just makes me feel like we're going down the same path as the US. Gassing ourselves to death for planet-destroying data centres to please shareholders. and fascists.

We need to get people like Doug Ford and Danielle Smith out of positions of power if we want to avoid the same fate as the US

We badly need laws that say these data centers need to build their own renewable energy infrastructure to have the data centre.

Edit: i guess clean, not necessarily renewable. Id be fine if they paid for a nuclear plant to feed them, but not with then running the nuke plant.
