Henrico County is a major hub for data centers in Virginia. Its officials said it expects a 25% rise in electricity costs next year, and advised workers to close the blinds and turn off their computers to make up for it.

How does closing the blinds conserve electricity? O_o
Less AC needed.
Oh that’s right, y’all got AC back there. I forgor.
I know Europe is scant on AC in general, but you guys really don’t even use it in schools? That seems wild to me.
No AC in schools. School is out in the summer in general.
We prefer to stick our fingers in our ears, pretend climate change isn’t getting worse and torture our kids and teachers instead. At least after the recent heatwave some conversations are starting to happen.
