Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg's plan to build an AI data center has been halted due to the discovery of rare bees near the proposed site, complicating regulatory approvals.
During a meta-wide meeting, Zuckerberg acknowledged the environmental challenges posed by the rare species found near the data center's location, affecting their energy supply plans.
Zuckerberg expressed that if successful, Meta would be the first major tech company to operate an AI facility powered by nuclear energy, highlighting its potential in providing carbon-free energy.
With the rising energy consumption of AI searches, which can be up to ten times higher than that of traditional searches, securing sufficient energy sources is becoming increasingly critical for tech giants.
