Eiropas Komisija plāno padarīt Eiropu par pirmo elektroenerģiju darbinātu kontinentu, piedāvājot risinājumus elektrifikācijas izmaksu samazināšanai un uzsverot elektrotīklu uzlabošanu, lai paātrinātu pāreju uz tīru enerģiju un radītu kvalitatīvas darbavietas. #elektrifikācija #enerģijaspat consumption #ilgtspēja

We know that out of control data centre development has led to 23% of electricity being consumed by data centres. A recent report found that data centres consume 80% of electricity in Dublin, yet Uisce Éireann can’t or won’t tell us the effect of data centres on water consumption #DataCenters #ElectricityConsumption #WaterUsage #IE

Meta’s Clonee data centre in County Meath recorded an annual consumption of 657 million litres. There are 107 data centres in Ireland. At the same time, the government is imposing a hose pipe ban. https://t.co/tVg40cEPx6 #DataCenters #Ireland #WaterConservation #IE

People throw numbers on water use in agriculture or data centers without understanding the scale, context or implications. I avoided pitching in so far. I have been trying to get real consequences at the end of the cycle before making the call. For now, the disinformation ( like statements attributed to Bezos ) or the volume of water consumption by data centres, they all proved to be nonsense. I have watched this pattern for long. When the sugar lobby started facing the consequences high sugar content in diet and the health issues after that, they tried the usual practices of the tobacco lobby before them. But the scale has been too big. And sugar and pharma sectors were intertwined. So they joined hands and started multi-layered disinformation campaigns. Destroy credibility of weak and gullible simple minded ones and then sort out the remaining through lawyering up. But that was 25 years ago. They have improvised alot now and the pandemic lessons have been intense. Data centers might have borrowed a leaf out of them. That is what it seems so far. AI story is about real estate, power generation, precious metals and water. But in a strategic manner, not the routine volume numbers. I will write soon. #sustainability #waterconservation #waterfootprint #datacenterimpact #factchecking

France has prohibited alcohol consumption at public events during the Fête de la Musique due to a severe heatwave expected to bring temperatures nearing 41°C, aiming to safeguard emergency services and prioritize the health of vulnerable populations. #France #Heatwave #MusicFestivals

🇨🇳 #China to Step Up Fiscal Support to Boost AI Consumption - Statement ➡ China will ramp up fiscal support to spur AI consumption while advancing broader measures including smart product rollouts, e-commerce integration and service upgrades, according to a statement. ➡ #China #AI #FiscalSupport #CN

In the contemporary digital landscape, a paradigm shift has occurred in how audiences engage with cultural artifacts. From cinema to music, the way we consume culture has undergone a conceptual transformation. Today, the medium has not only become the message but has begun to eclipse the artistic substance itself. Through the lens of what I call “fakism,” this article examines the transition from aesthetic appreciation to algorithmic and interface-driven consumption. #ai #music #musicconsumption #culture #Tunitemusic #arashkazizi #estonia #digitalmusic #streamingservice #musicstreaming https://tunitemusic.com/post/the-architecture-of-consumption/

🇨🇳 #China’s inflation numbers in May suggest that core inflation remains weak even as producer prices accelerated, suggesting that more work needs to be done to boost consumption, the Economic Daily reports, citing economists. ➡ The consumer price index rose 1.2% in May from a #China #Inflation #Economy #CN

Data centre electricity demand is projected to exceed the entire power consumption of the state. Already, data centres are adding an estimated €1.6 billion to Irish households’ electricity bills, while paying around half the rate charged to ordinary consumers. https://t.co/9qj6dZ6TLe #DataCentres #ElectricityDemand #Ireland #IE

🇱🇹 A new Euronews article highlights Lithuania’s rapid shift from energy dependence to resilience. In five years, renewables rose from 15% to 50% of consumption, while solar and wind covered 84% of demand in April, driving the country toward 100% green power by 2028. https://t.co/77TYDRMcdo #Lithuania #RenewableEnergy #GreenPower #LT

A pleasure to launch the #EUBeachCleanup campaign in Limassol today alongside Mayor @YiannisArmeftis. 🏖️ ⚠️Up to 37 million tonnes of plastic waste could reach the ocean annually by 2040. Together, we can raise awareness about marine pollution and promote sustainable consumption https://t.co/BFOv9OtK7w #EUBeachCleanup #MarinePollution #SustainableConsumption #CY #EU

The Europeans are now starting to beg Russia to send them diesel. The situation is clearly desperate yet still people are not being told. They should be restricting consumption now rather than this extend and pretend. 🇬🇧🇷🇺 https://t.co/bBeSQ1S81y #Europe #DieselCrisis #EnergyDependence #GB #RU

Europe pays $7–9 per gallon. America pays $4.5 — and still complains. Stop whining, US sissies. Use more electric cars. Reduce gas consumption. Stop funding hostile regimes with oil money. Higher energy prices create: ⚡ more efficiency ⚡ more innovation ⚡ stronger public https://t.co/1OjHg1Y1R9 #ElectricCars #FuelEfficiency #EnergyInnovation #EU #US

The prices of solar panels may soon rise due to geopolitical uncertainty, supply shortages, and China's recent tax reforms, despite their dramatic price drop of 90% over the past decade and the ongoing strong demand for solar energy in Europe, which currently accounts for nearly a quarter of the EU's electricity consumption. #SolarEnergy #Geopolitics #CleanEnergy #CN #EU #IR #FR #IT #PL #RO #DE #US #TAI
