# No Accountability: Tech Giants’ Green Claims Under Fire
It seems like tech companies have been spinning tall tales about their energy use while building gargantuan AI models. Spoiler alert: if you believed them, you might want to sit down for this. The Guardian is waving a big red flag, revealing that the supposed eco-friendly vibes from giants like Microsoft, Google, Meta, and Apple are not quite what they seem. Here’s a breakdown of this surprisingly underwhelming story of “green” tech:
## Key Points
– **Tech Companies’ Claims:** The big names in AI have been shouting about their sustainable energy usage like it’s the latest TikTok trend.
– **The Truth Comes Out:** According to The Guardian, the reality of their energy emissions is less like a serene nature documentary and more like a horror film.
– **Misleading Messaging:** It turns out the numbers that tech companies have been parading around may have been as accurate as a weather forecast issued by a cat.
– **Data Centers’ Dirty Secret:** AI leaders aren’t just addicted to data; they’re also leaving behind a significant carbon footprint that rivals those of small countries.
– **The Irony:** The companies that are supposed to usher us into a greener
