Generative AI is reportedly tripling carbon dioxide emissions from data centers
(www.techradar.com)
This is a most excellent place for technology news and articles.
And your sources? I only did a cursory search, and according to the IEA data centers are responsible for somewhere in the range of 2-6% of electricity demand. Renewables are currently around 30% globally.

I feel like some people are just emotional reactionaries. They see a certain story, and in their own mind they make the story worse than it is, and treat their feelings as fact.
I have no sources on this, or proof that this guy in particular is doing that.
.........wait, am I doing it right now???
Hmmmmm......
Maybe they got confused about total power usage (maybe) being more than the green power added?
