       For 20 years, #EarthHour has brought millions of people together for our planet. Tonight, we’re switching off the lights at our Brussels headquarters to mark this global moment. Homes, workplaces, and public buildings use 40% of Europe’s energy. Every action counts. Take part. Switch off your lights for an hour. Build a brighter, more sustainable future together. 💡🌱

       @EUCommission how about taking action against building AI data centers in Europe? Surely that will save a lot more energy than... this

       Hello @tmallafre, as you know this isn’t a decision we can take on our own. We put forward a proposal to end seasonal clock changes back in 2018, supported by the European Parliament, but the national governments within the Council have not yet taken a position. Nevertheless, we believe a coordinated solution in the seasonal clock changes is still achievable, and remain focused on fostering consensus among Member States.

       @EUCommission Lately there's been a bit of talk about the electric grid. For example, in the UK they are (planning to?) offering free electricity when the production is higher than consumption, to stabilize the grid so they don't have to turn off wind turbines and stuff like that.Of course this earth hour thing is scheduled, so the power plants can prepare for it, but I do wonder if its doing more bad than good?I mean obviously saving electricity is good but would be interesting to know what sort of preparations the electricity providers will have to do because of this. I don't know if its a joke or not but I've heard that during big football matches the UK electricity providers have to prepare for the intermission because so many people go put the kettle on.

       @EUCommission Performative bullshit, while at the same time promoting "#AI" data centers that burn our planet, drink our water.Bravo, hypocrites.

       @EUCommission I'm sorry, but just this week you were pushing to extend the highly consuming feeding of user data to data centers and AI systems with #ChatControl You weren't happy it was rejected once by the EU Parliament and you tried again.How is that good for the environment?

       @EUCommission Well... with all LEDs, that doesn't do much. How about setting the thermostat to 20 degrees for the whole winter?
