Wind turbines and solar panels are finite. They are made of stuff. Every wind turbine that gets tasked with supplying a data centre running a chatbot that tells lies as fake search results should actually be serving societal demand and cutting down on fossil fuels fortune.com/2024/05/01/m...

AI is already consuming monstrous amounts of electricity, changing the equation for tech firms balancing the twin priorities of managing carbon emissions while staying competitive in the AI race. The data centers that store information and host the large language models that AI is trained on are stocked with high-powered computer chips that require lots of energy and lots of water to cool.
Some analysts predict AI could consume as much as a quarter of all power in the U.S. by 2030. Microsoft disclosed last September that its water usage had spiked 34%. The power grid as it currently exists isn't capable of handling such a massive surge in demand, so tech companies are taking matters into their own hands.

Among other things, it recommends that the NZ Govt wind back carbon offsetting, don't scale up biodiversity offsetting, & implement a well-integrated policy mix for land use that works with mana motuhake (agency, autonomy) rather than against it.
