Original: Big Tech, environmental groups in talks for potential data center framework
Major technology companies and environmental organizations are in talks over a potential framework governing data centers, according to The Hill. The discussions point to growing friction over the environmental footprint of large-scale computing facilities, particularly energy and water use. Details of the proposal and which groups are involved were not disclosed, and no agreement has been reached yet.
