Taiwan in Monochrome

We’ve probably commented on this image already a number of times, but it is one of a very small number of Japanese-era photos we’ve seen of the Liugong irrigation canal, formerly criss-crossing large swathes of what is now Taipei.

This image is intriguing from a number of perspectives - the canal appears to be shown here crossing a river in an aqueduct.

AI chip manufacturing derails climate progress in East Asia

A new report has identified a spike in the #electricity consumption rates of artificial intelligence (#AI) chip manufacturing by 350% since 2023.

The research paper, published by #Greenpeace East Asia, notes that East #Asia bears the brunt of the #ClimateImpact of AI chip manufacturing. Asian countries like #Taiwan and South #Korea are leading hubs for #semiconductor manufacturing but soaring electricity demand is denting #ClimateChange targets.

Semiconductor manufacturing plants in the region are turning to #FossilFuels to power their operation. The combined global #emissions from AI chip manufacturing in Asia Pacific, particularly South East Asia, could cause the region to miss out on its environmental #sustainability targets.
