You know, they might well announce a further increase in the amount of data centers they're building and and the sort of already unprecedented spending toward that.
Um so I think it's it's it's really hard to tell.
But for folks who make sustainability their uh their life, it it certainly looks like some of the biggest champions in the form of tech companies are uh are a little bit in trouble.
something that uh uh companies have touted, you know, AI can more efficiently, you know, route electricity use, can more efficiently optimize um optimize software programs.
There's a lot of potential gains from AI.
Um that could that could come for the environment.
Um, I think for for a lot of people who are who are tracking carbon though, you know, that's just that's frills at this point until they prove it out.
The numbers still gotta go the right direction.
And right now for for most big tech they are not.
Yeah, that's right.
There's been a a whole lot of blowback um the last couple of years toward the the growing footprint of these data centers showing up in a lot more communities.
That's something, you know, Microsoft and their sustainability report today sought to address.
They're trying to say, Hey, we want to do this responsibly, we wanna be a partner, at least make a make a show of listening to concerns and then perhaps even even doing so more diligently now that these things are you know all over the place.
They are, yeah, your your Amazons, your Googles, your Oracles, um, and they have all uh sort of disclosed similar um steps backwards in their environmental footprint as well.
It's just these uh these data centers require a whole lot of energy to uh to put up.
No, I'm happy to be here.
This was a semi-viral trend.
You know, you saw students, including University of Arizona, some out on the East Coast, just hearing their commencement speakers make the case for AI and talk about how transformative it's going to be.
And the kids just weren't having any of it.
It got to the point in a couple where just the mere mention of AI and folks were booing left and right.
