We will look back and consider the construction of these on Irish soil as one the biggest mistakes of this century.
And this as well
*How Big Tech wrote secrecy into EU law to hide data centres’ environmental toll*

We need a government that is about the people. These places should not put a burden on consumers unless it is for those who use their services. We subsidise them both in direct and indirect taxes and now this. People who derive no benefit from them are having to pay.
Hmmm….I love a good data centre bashing, because its not just the electricity, the RAM and graphic card prices tripled in the last two, three years, but at the same time it seems a bit disingenuous to complain about data centres on an online platform….just saying……
It must be amazing to have your business subsidised by the tax payer.
Wondering when someone’s actually gonna put a stop to the cretins that shaft us daily.
Mad that the same companies are about to toss thousands of workers onto the scrapheap as well, these companies are vampires
When are we actually going to do something about this?
The electrical cost is a headline grabber, but I would venture a guess that the penalties for the carbon and environmental targets that we are missing because of them will probably be equally high. I feel like the true cost is much higher than this alone.
Regular Data centers arent the biggest problem though in all of this, its the AI ones that are a massive issue as they chug on power at multiple times that of a traditional one and the benefits of AI are dubious at best. Worst of all AI has been draining resources from the commercial market and driving up prices of PC components so that part at least is what needs to be dealt with.
1.4 billion is practically nothing compared to the total household electricity bill. Not to mention industry and businesses which are probably multiples of that.
All the people on here against Data Centres, is so funny. How do you think Reddit is running from a fucking filing cabinet? Probably most with a storage cloud filled with shit that has never been sorted through. But it’s data centres that are the problem not us the users of the data centre.
It’s nonsense research that makes no sense. Plus that 1.4bn guessed cost is over a decade. So long predates modern data centres. It’s made up click bait
