Apple pulls out of data center in Athenry due to fcuked up planning and gob****es

teh average temperature differential in ireland between summer and winter is about 12 degrees... 20 ish down to 8 ish

so we dont get very warm summers which would require active cooling, nor do we get really cold winters which require active heating.

we in the goldilocks zone, if you will

And your point is?

My point is, that the data centers will save themselves money, but in real terms, it turns out the Irish people are the ones that are going to pay.

None of these data centers have been asked for a real contribution to our
1) Infrastructure, which needs to be updated
2) Our fines for our carbon emissions which need to be paid
3) Mitigation


Our politicians are drooling over these companies & selling the Irish taxpayer a pig in a poke

You can listen for yourself, from one of the objectors here

You will probably find that the places that get colder in winter, have far warmer summer maximum temperatures,

this is quite a claim

Goldilocks is sort of right although there are big data centres in Arizona which is quite hot, what they really need is smaller temperature ranges so our not too hot summers and not too cold winters suit, they tend to be sited in politically stable countries, a big thing is access to fibre networks, we are well positioned for transatlantic cables and cables to Europe, we have good internal infrastructure with clusters of data centres around the m50 in particular taking advantage of a fibre ring T50 I think it’s called.

Like it or not data centres are needed and people on the internet complaining about them is somewhat ironic.
