    Yeah. It’s the same here. They’re building it in the north because the electricity is cheaper and there are fewer people that’ll complain. It’s the same reasoning why they’re building them out in the desert in the U.S., fewer people and a local government that’s easier to bribe.

    The proponents are all “we’re going to need this compute power in the EU too!” right so let’s buy it when it’s hideously inflated in the middle of a bubble. Fucking fivehead.

      Yeah it’s absurd. A horribly flawed, inefficient attempt by the politicians to claw back some semblance of relevance on a global stage, while serving their own class interests. Just throw more money at the problem, that should fix it. What do you mean the energy grid collapsed?
