Hey fellow impactful ninja ?

You may have noticed that Impactful Ninja is all about providing helpful information to make a positive impact on the world and society. And that we love to link back to where we found all the information for each of our posts.

  • Most of these links are informational-based for you to check out their primary sources with one click.

  • But some of these links are so-called "affiliate links" to products that we recommend.

Why do we add these product links?

First and foremost, because we believe that they add value to you. For example, when we wrote a post about the environmental impact of long showers, we came across an EPA recommendation to use WaterSense showerheads. So we linked to where you can find them. Or, for many of our posts, we also link to our favorite books on that topic so that you can get a much more holistic overview than one single blog post could provide.

And when there is an affiliate program for these products, we sign up for it. For example, as Amazon Associates, we earn from qualifying purchases.

What do these affiliate links mean for you?
  1. First, and most importantly, we still only recommend products that we believe add value for you.

  2. When you buy something through one of our affiliate links, we may earn a small commission - but at no additional costs to you.

  3. And when you buy something through a link that is not an affiliate link, we won’t receive any commission but we’ll still be happy to have helped you.

What do these affiliate links mean for us?
  1. When we find products that we believe add value to you and the seller has an affiliate program, we sign up for it.

  2. When you buy something through one of our affiliate links, we may earn a small commission (at no extra costs to you).

  3. And at this point in time, all money is reinvested in sharing the most helpful content with you. This includes all operating costs for running this site and the content creation itself.

What does this mean for me personally?

You may have noticed by the way Impactful Ninja is operated that money is not the driving factor behind it. It is a passion project of mine and I love to share helpful information with you to make a positive impact on the world and society. However, it's a project in that I invest a lot of time and also quite some money.

Eventually, my dream is to one day turn this passion project into my full-time job and provide even more helpful information. But that's still a long time to go.

Stay impactful,

1️⃣ The big picture: Prometheus Hyperscale has partnered with PureWest Energy and Frontier Carbon Solutions to launch a 1.2GW carbon-neutral data center campus in Wyoming. This collaboration creates a first-of-its-kind sustainable energy model for data infrastructure by combining verified low-carbon natural gas with traceable carbon removal credits. The project addresses the rapidly growing energy demands of artificial intelligence while maintaining environmental responsibility. By integrating local resources with advanced carbon management, this initiative demonstrates how energy-intensive technologies can expand without increasing emissions.

2️⃣ Why is this good news: The carbon-neutral data center establishes a practical blueprint for building sustainable digital infrastructure without compromising on power capacity. Local economic development in Wyoming benefits from the project while advancing clean technology solutions. The partnership leverages existing natural resources sustainably by combining responsible natural gas production with carbon capture and storage. Energy-intensive AI applications can now grow with minimized environmental impact. The end-to-end emissions traceability sets a new standard for accountability in the tech sector.

3️⃣ What’s next: The partnership will continue scaling carbon removal operations to match the data center’s growing power needs. Additional phases of the data center campus will likely implement further sustainability improvements based on initial results. Wyoming’s position as a leader in sustainable energy innovation may attract more tech companies seeking carbon-neutral infrastructure solutions.
