When the powerful tell us we have to keep relying on fossil fuels to facilitate the transition to renewable energy, I just don’t believe them anymore. Look at how long they’ve had — twenty years, thirty years, forty years — to make the move and how they continue dragging their feet.

And in the meantime, in three years or so, we’ve seen a profusion of water-sucking, electricity-guzzling data centres. Something no one without vested financial interest was asking for.

It’s not that you can’t, it’s that you don’t want to.
