Comment expressing opposition to AI data centres being built in Alberta

Numéro de référence

Texte

Given the past few years of increasingly intense heat and drought experienced by this province during summer months, and the ever increasing cost of electricity, it is unconscionable that the government of Alberta and Canada are even considering allowing the energy and resource sucking monstrosity known as data centres to be built in this province.  Even the advocates of these centres recognize the strain these operations put on the local resources.  Beyond initial construction and a handful of jobs after the fact, any benefit to the presence of the data centre leaves the community where it is creating the damage and the people living next to them are left to work around them.  The only people strongly advocating for data centres are the organizations or individuals who are growing their wealth off the environmental damage, health risks and inconvenience of the people in the communities where they exist.
