Yeah, but it's even worse than that. The UK grid is decarbonising, but the article says this new #DataCentre will run entirely on natural gas, i.e. fossil fuels. Right now, about an eighth of UK electricity is generated from fossil fuels:

So the new DC will emit about twice as much carbon as all the UK's electricity generation.

Does the sun not shine in Utah? Does the wind not blow in the desert? Is the climate not changing as fast as the Americans would like? 😡

DATACENTRE? Optog borgermøde i Holbæk i sidste uge - byen står til at få et datacenter, der bruger fire gange så meget strøm som Holbæk by og skal køre på gasturbiner en stor del af tiden(elnettet er ikke stort nok!), til ære for et postuleret fremskridt og noget uspecificeret AI. Lyt og tænk: fire eksperter taler. #datacentre #holbæk #fakefremskridt #kollaps

Maine lawmakers want to pause data-centre projects
With the rise of artificial intelligence, data centre projects are popping up around the country, and one now proposed for Saint John has both supporters and opponents. But next door in Maine, legislators want to take things more slowly and see some research.

Calling it now: it will take one failed attempt (or false flag) at burning down a data centre before all data centres will be heavily militarised areas.
