So, something I heard recently on my local NPR station on borrowing ebooks vs. hardcover from your local library:
Apparently, the library pays ~$15 for a hardcover book, but ~$150 for the ebook - and the ebook is a LIMITED LICENSE for, say, 52 loans of that book. After which they have to pay ANOTHER $150 for the book, AGAIN.

The takeaway here: If you can get the hardcopy from the library instead of borrowing an ebook, please do so. The impact on their budget will be SIGNIFICANT.

While attempts to find the names and addresses of oil tycoons are yet to bear fruit, I have been able to track down the names and addresses of thousands of datacenters.

https://www.datacentermap.com/

This search was prompted by spotting this article, in which it is claimed that datacenters (driven by projected demand for AI) will massively increase the demand for electricity over the next 20 years, squandering opportunities that would otherwise be gained by shifts toward renewable energy.

Poison sockets are full of poison.
Data centers are full of data.

Switch them off.
