AI datacenters' climate impact severely underestimated while renewable energy advances face legal challenges and government support grows amid broader environmental concerns

UK government vastly underestimated the climate impact of AI datacentres, with revised figures showing significantly higher carbon emissions than previously projected, raising major concerns about energy-intensive AI infrastructure worsening the climate emergency.

A federal judge in Massachusetts blocked Trump administration restrictions on wind and solar projects, striking down a policy that would have required senior officials to approve federal clean energy projects, temporarily halting efforts to restrict renewable energy expansion.

UK government departments are at odds over energy demands of AI datacentres, with discrepancies in forecasts raising questions about coherent planning for net zero goals as competing visions of the country's energy future clash.

Renewable energy will boost national security and protect the UK from sabotage, according to a government minister, as widely dispersed wind farms and solar panels are harder targets than centralized fossil fuel power stations.

The US Supreme Court sided with Michigan in its fight to shut down the ageing Line 5 pipeline beneath a Great Lakes channel, marking a significant environmental victory in a messy legal dispute over energy infrastructure.
