We just passed 1.5C, we will almost certainly pass 2C by about 2035 and its going to be catastrophic. Far from decreasing CO2 emissions we are not only continuing to increase but doing so at an increasing rate. We will be extinct a large number of species on the planet at this rate, likely 50% or more and we run the real risk of collapsing civilisation if we don't change urgently.

But we sure did make a great profit on those datacentres so worth it to destroy the planets habitats.

Dirt cheap US natural gas is running out in a decade or so, the dirt cheap "clean energy" produced from it needs a substitute.

being realistic given the current administration, the best avenue for those that care about climate change would be to lobby their representatives for nuclear and specially coal to nuclear transitions (https://www.energy.gov/ne/coal-nuclear-transitions) and lobby for more government funding directed to accelerate this. This would be palatable to the current administration while also supporting the goal of less c02 and other emissions.

Heck this also takes away any incentive to restart the coal plants by private companies if they are being financially supported and already in the process of converting them to nuclear, and it takes away an incentive to build more long-term because each nuclear plant provides a lot more power on average. Another thing to lobby for would be for more SMRs funding and less regulation overall in nuclear (it's insane how overly regulated nuclear is based on one soviet fuck up of a crappy underfunded/flawed powerplant (chernobyl). Fukishima plants (commissioned in 1971!) survived a once in a lifetime 9.5 magnitude earthquake despite being less than 100 miles from the epicenter even with regulatory lapses.

More reason to ditch big companies and self-host
