Microsoft builds first datacenters with wood to slash carbon emissions
Microsoft is building datacenters made with CLT to slash the use of steel and concrete and significantly reduce the embodied carbon footprint.

This is a puff peice to distract. Microsoft has made no effort to lessen their carbon footprint.
Not supporting Microsoft, but didn't they just lease out a nuclear power plant to reduce their carbon emissions?
Three Mile Island, and they want to do it to power their AI development. Not move their current servers and infrastructure to the nuclear power grid.
And the owner of Three Mile Island, who's working with Microsoft, is trying to get the fed to give him the money needed to get the plant running again. Taxpayer money for Microsoft's AI project that they'll reap all the reward from.
Working on reactivating Three Mile Island.
Technically it just makes their carbon footprint even larger
I recently had a tour of the Redmond campus. They have multiple geothermal wells for power as well as an air conditioning system that uses almost no energy, it was pretty neat.
Too bad all that cool stuff is negligible compared to what actually makes a difference
Like starting up a nuclear power plant to avoid burning fossil fuels?
With huge campuses some business have, I wouldn't call it negligible. Unless you yourself are running a huge business campus and have some insight on how these noobs should be doing it. 😅
