More problems with energy usage in the booming data centre sector:

it now seems due to supply chain problems (and waits to get energy supplies sorted out for new builds), data centres are turning to diesel generators & repurposed aero-engines for on-site power.... further increasing the emissions that stem from AI-related technology.

It really is as if the TechBros think they have a lifeboat which will whisk them away from the climate crisis!
