Sy TaffelHaving slogged through Google's 2025 Environmental Report, here's my summary...(all figures are changes from 2023-2024)Scope 2 location-based GHG emissions up from 9,252,900 - 11,283,200 tCO2eScope 3 GHG emissions up from 10,794,000 - 12,053,000 tCO2eTotal Energy Consumption up from 25,910,500 - 32,727,800 MWhTotal waste generated up from 52,000 - 58,500 metric tonsWater consumption up from 6,352 - 8135 million gallons.So given that they're significantly worse on every major indicator, you might be wondering how Google spins this as 'driving sustainable innovation' (p4) and a 12% reduction in datacentre emissions (p4)...The answer is that they're buying more electricity under Power Purchase Agreements - meaning that increasing amounts of renewable energy isn't used for decarbonisation, instead they're used to power the growth in AI and datacentre capacity. This, alongside the focus on efficiency metrics that obfuscate the growing energy and resource demands of Big Tech needs to be recognised as corporate greenwash that is driving climate change, not fixing it<a href="https://mastodon.nz/tags/Google" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Google</a> <a href="https://mastodon.nz/tags/AI" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#AI</a> <a href="https://mastodon.nz/tags/DataCenters" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#DataCenters</a> <a href="https://mastodon.nz/tags/sustainability" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#sustainability</a> <a href="https://mastodon.nz/tags/Tech" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Tech</a> <a href="https://mastodon.nz/tags/ClimateChange" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#ClimateChange</a> <a href="https://sustainability.google/google-2025-environmental-report/" rel="nofollow noopener" translate="no" target="_blank">https://sustainability.google/google-2025-environmental-report/</a>

'If you aren't independent of political and industry influence, then you are at risk of an accident,' Macfarlane warned."On the first day of his second term, Trump also signed executive orders declaring a dubious 'national energy emergency' and directing federal agencies to find ways to reduce regulatory roadblocks to 'unleashing American energy, including by boosting <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/FossilFuels" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#FossilFuels</a> and nuclear power."The rapid advancement and adoption of artificial intelligence systems is creating a tremendous need for energy that proponents say can be met by nuclear power.
