Wednesday, June 21, 2023

Debates surrounding AI are rarely concerned with how tech companies extract resources to fuel their growth.

Key Points: 
  • Debates surrounding AI are rarely concerned with how tech companies extract resources to fuel their growth.
  • This includes data centres, large facilities that house the many computer servers needed to store the vast amounts of information accumulated by tech companies.
  • Lithium and copper are also key minerals needed to build microchips that are incorporated in computing units within data centres.

Rural treasures?

    • Between 1951 and 1990, the rural region of Extremadura in Spain lost 40% of its rural population and many of its jobs.
    • After promising jobs, and a sustainable and digital future based on new energies and an economic boost to rural Extremadura, the company is close to receiving approval from the Spanish government and local authorities.

Energy storage

    • Another company aiming to extract lithium from the region, Lithium Iberia, is promoting the idea of a green energy revolution in Extremadura.
    • This company also plans to manufacture supercapacitors which will be used for storing energy.

Environmental threats

    • The environmental impact assessment for the Castilla-La Mancha regional government showed that about six litres per second of water will be needed to cool the data centre.
    • Resistance to data centres has not yet emerged in Extremadura, related to the the environmental impact of these facilities.
    • Most of these projects are planned to be built within industrial parks and warehouses, which can sometimes mask their true environmental impact.
    • These effects can be both environmental and political.
