       They are going to build an AI data centre about an hour away from me. It's going to have a 190 MW fossil fuel power plant, and have a draw on the power grid equivalent to adding two more cities the size of New Brunswick's largest city. It will be the third largest carbon emitter in New Brunswick after the Irving oil refinery and another fossil fuel power plant.I'm crying reading our article about it. I live in one of the precious few places on this continent where you don't get sick from breathing the air, and they're going to try and fuck that up. I had hoped that the bubble would burst before it got to this point, but it seems like that won't be the case.People have protested the sale of electric cars here because our grid is so strained and under-maintained, and the cost of electricity here has skyrocketed the last few years. The cars are nothing compared to what this will be.
