"British officials say this is an inevitable consequence of a years-long wait to connect to the National Grid, and raises an “interesting question” about the UK’s climate targets."

It doesn't raise any 'interesting questions'. It drives a coach and horses through our #ClimateChange targets, and signs the planet's death warrant.

More than 100 UK datacentres plan to burn gas to generate electricity

Requests for gas connections by operators amount to more than 15 terawatt hours per year, endangering climate targets

The Guardian

People proposing this sort of catastrophic, planet destroying nonsense should be treated like war criminals -- oh, wait, no, we no longer prosecute war criminals, instead we promote them. They should be treated like paedophiles -- oh, wait, no....

We should fine them of everything they own and imprison them for a really long time.

But we won't. So our beautiful planet will die.
