BREAKING: Labor Energy Minister Chris Bowen making early admissions that Data centres WILL drive up power costs and it will be Australians that pay for it. Data centres require 24/7 full baseload power, something renewables cannot supply without trillions in further investment.

Chris Bowen has rocks in his head if he thinks data centres can run on intermittent power while he blocks gas-powered ones. That said, Australians must come first for reliable, cheap electricity. These data centres should not be prioritised. This government has done enough damage and needs to be booted out immediately.

“We’re investing in renewables to put downward pressure on prices. They want a nuclear fantasy that will drive prices up.” - Chris Bowen, slamming nuclear energy. Australia holds the world’s largest uranium resources, roughly 28–33% of global reserves and has just finalised a deal to supply uranium to India for its nuclear power needs. The only fantasy here is Bowen claiming his intermittent renewables are delivering cheaper, more reliable power for Australians.

🚨 WEF - “The Future is Ai” “$600 Billion on Data Centres” Larry Fink - “it will be bigger” They are building data centres in huge numbers across the UK & Europe as well - ask yourself - why? Data Centres consume huge amounts of - hey Grok how many homes could be fed with water and energy - equal to that of one large data centre?

DATA CENTRES Let me share some uncomfortable information The data Centres they are seeking to build will be the surveillance centres. They will act like the prison warden, monitoring and allocating punishments and giving scores. For those data Centres to work, they will need FRESH WATER to cool the hardware. They will need to divert water from entire dams towards the data centre. For example all the water feeding the Nairobi population will need to be diverted to the data centres for cooling the systems. See the number of legal cases in the USA against the data Centres. We have not talked about radiation that they will produce and affect the populations living in the environs

Chris Bowen wants to run Australia on sunshine, wind and batteries. That plan can barely keep the lights on for households, let alone power a fleet of energy-hungry data centres. And his claim that a nuclear power station takes 20 years? More spin. The global average construction time for a nuclear reactor is 6–8 years.

A local utility company in Illinois has plans to help lower residents electrical bills They will be requiring new data centers and planned data centers to sign 10 year contracts saying they will be responsible for paying for upgrade costs and electricity usage costs “That means any new data centers would be on the hook for power upgrades and any energy they plan to use, even if the data center ends up not getting built or if they don't use as much power as planned or if they close. So if they use the power that they're applying for, then they'll pay their fair share of the cost of maintaining and building our grid through their rates”

Daniel Dreyfus, Chief Investment Officer at Bornite Capital says the commodities super cycle isn't over, we're still very early. Aerospace, the US grid, power generation, data centres, and defence are all spending trillions at the same time, and none of it works without critical minerals. The US government is now writing cheques, handing out permits, and signing take-or-pay contracts directly with miners. Unprecedented

Neil Oliver dissects Larry Fink's admission that "intermittent power like wind and solar" cannot reliably power all the new data centres required by "the world of data harvesting". "Our data is the new oil, the new gold, and its storage must not be entrusted to the renewables, so-called, that the rest of us are expected to settle for." "They de-industrialised Europe in pursuit of the wind and solar future... Britons pay more for energy than just about anyone else on Earth." "And now, Larry Fink... says the world of data—the world we are all expecting or expected to inhabit—needs the kind of power you only get from oil and gas, and the like." Credit: Neil Oliver

Many large-scale data centres are "energy-guzzling infrastructure" with only a minimal impact on job creation. While Tamil Nadu won't stop attracting data centres, it will focus on smaller, AI-specific data centres that better suit the state's highly educated workforce. Certain data centres (referring to a Google project in Andhra Pradesh) were built in specific locations primarily because of existing undersea cable infrastructure. And we all know who runs the existing infrastructure there. Bottom line: Tamil Nadu will not join a "rat race to the bottom" by giving away land for free or providing excessive incentives just to win an investment. The state knows its value and the quality of its talent pool, so it doesn't need to compete with other states on these terms. - Honourable Minister Dr. T R B Rajaa Annan

BBC News, "The Green Party is calling on the government to slam the brakes, on the building of new AI data centres in England, because of the amount of energy and water they use" "The Green Party leader Zack Polanski says stricter environmental standards should be introduced" Zack Polanksi, "We need to slam the brakes on these energy guzzling, water guzzling data centres" "At a time when 3/4 of the country are in drought it's outrageous that these are being considered critical infrastructure" "To most people critical infrastructure is hospitals, water, electricity, it doesn't mean AI" Important to note that Australia's solution is making AI data centres provide green renewable energy as a precondition for AI data centres. The UK should be doing the same.

Lutnick: If you are building a data center, you were going to give power to the grid and drive the energy costs of everybody around that data center lower. Trump is going to bring lower energy prices. Everywhere that a big company builds a big data center, they are going to lower the price of energy in the entire area around it.

The CEO of BlackRock, Larry Fink, admits that the trillions of dollars being used to build data centers and power grids will come from ordinary people’s savings accounts and pension funds, and says it is mandatory. He says America needs trillions in AI infrastructure spending, and that people will be forced to “invest” in it. “Much of this will come from savings accounts and pension accounts.”

Andhra IT minister Lokesh Nara says Vizag Data Centres Won't Hit City Water Supply Nara Lokesh today told the Assembly that data centres in Visakhapatnam won't affect city drinking water. He said the planned 6.5 GW ecosystem needs about 3 TMC water annually, which will come from Polavaram's industrial quota via dedicated pipelines, not city supply. Vizag's urban water will be met via Polavaram gravity supply in 18 months. He added a 1 GW thermal plant uses 10x more water than a data centre, and the 6.5 GW allocation cap set by N Chandrababu Naidu has been fully achieved. Lokesh also said that misinformation was being spread over water requirements. He said Google’s investment in #Vizag had triggered wider IT interest in the city. #Andhra #AndhraPradesh #AndhraNews #DataCentres #AIDataCentres #AndhraAssembly

BREAKING: xAI commits to develop 1.2 gigawatts of power as their supercomputer's primary power source. "That will be for every additional data center as well. We will expand what is already the largest global Megapack power instillation in the world. The instillation will provide enough backup power to power the city of Memphis, and more than sufficient energy to power to the town of Southaven, Mississippi where the data center resides." 一 SpaceX President, Gwynne Shotwell
