"Since 2018, carbon emissions from data centers in the US have tripled. For the 12 months ending August 2024, data centers were responsible for 105 million metric tons of CO2, accounting for 2.18% of national emissions (for comparison, domestic commercial airlines are responsible for about 131 million metric tons).

Went to see a superblock in Barcelona. Given how much they feature as urbanism of the future, they are amazingly simple.
