AI DATA CENTRES CHOOSING FOSSIL FUELS

Larry Fink, head of BlackRock, claims people don’t care about renewables now, they just want power:

The reliance on gas power for data centers is a departure from previous thought, said Larry Fink, founder of global investment firm BlackRock, speaking to a crowd of industry executives at an oil and gas conference in Houston in March.

About four years ago, if someone said they were building a data center, they said it must be powered by renewables, he recounted. Two years ago, it was a preference.

“Today?” Fink said. “They care about power.”
