Great story & needs to be duplicated en masse: hospital uses solar energy to pay its patients utility bills.
Boston Medical Center installed solar & uses 1/2 of the energy generated to power the medical center.
The other 1/2 produced goes to patients’ utility bill as monthly credit of ~$50.

The lien on Donna and Gary Lindabury's home for a 2009 heart surgery debt was among 11,500 wiped away by Atrium Health after an NBC News report.

very few journalists are reporting on the stark consequences of the data center boom like @justcalma.bsky.social
AI's popularity is growing as its efficiency is waning: The US already has more data centers than any country and demand could climb 160% by 2030—leading to even more pollution from the power sector.
