Booze, pets, banter, photos, taphophile. Sweary lefty…no, further than that. Paul Dempsey’s biggest fan. Home of the sneaky bus beer. Religion is a farce but Mother Nature is a force. Living back in Sydney and missing my Melbourne.💜

Bloomberg research found wholesale electricity up ~270% in areas near data centers

It doesn't seem like nearly enough people are taking it seriously

One A.I. image isn't too much energy, but 5 million videos? Per day/hour/minute whatever. It's not sustainable

AI Data Centers Are Sending Power Bills Soaring

Wholesale electricity costs as much as 267% more than it did five years ago in areas near data centers. That’s being passed on to customers.

My actual job will be reasonably mundane. But renewable is at least something I can support. Fkn hell there’s a lot to learn. What I knew about energy 2 weeks ago could be written on a 5 cent piece lol

Purps @colourpurplegal.bsky.social · 1d

I am! A retailer that does renewable energy to commercial biz only, not residential. Lots to learn but they’re a great company so far.

Purps @colourpurplegal.bsky.social · 1d

Nah it’s a renewable energy supplier that only does commercial work, not residential. Sales team looks after the hard yards, my team just does mainly account enquiries and other admin. Really nice company.

That’s a fucking disgrace. And proves his point.

Purps @colourpurplegal.bsky.social · 1d

Phew! I used to get migraines when I was younger, remember that feeling all too well.

Haha how good would it be if Greta got it, because you just know how Karen he would go if she did win it.
