Well, it’s a bit better than that, simply because you can train AI with solar power. Probably nobody does that currently, as it’s easier, faster-to-market and probably (for whatever corrupt reason) cheaper for business to let it run on burning fossils/nuclear. Currently there’s an insane amount of waste, often 1000s of models are trained and only the best performing one is deployed - and then it’s just a fancy autocomplete. The better use is for prediction of material failure, new medicine and protein folding, generally improved processes.
With asbestos you get some convenience, but it’ll be for eternity a pain to find a waste management facility that will accept it.
Alrighty then, every MB of EU-user-generated data transferred to servers of US digital services now incurs a fee of 0.1€.
If you don’t pay, or during ongoing proceedings, the packets are not forwarded to the IP range of that service.
I bet that would resolve all problems very quickly.
