    No we don’t. I’m pretty sure we’ll be able to miss all the climate goals even if we ban data centres.

      Most probably. But not by such a high margin. The energy consumption of datacenters is completely insane.

        Its not completely Insane for Datacenters or Supercomputers in Europa. Also our Supercomputers are always first in Green500, unlike USAs!

        I just wish we could convince tptb into building that much grid capacity in renewables. For the citizenry. Not for buisness.

        I mean I’m aware of a few projects, but like nothing on datacenter scale
