Imagine a government initiative that makes solar power accessible to everyone, allowing families to pay it off gradually through schemes like PAYE. Such a program could truly transform our approach to renewable energy.
So they get angry at data centres using grid power but also get angry at data centres for connecting to their own power? Are data centres just the arch-bogeymen these days?
We have a huge opportunity, and we’re squandering it yet again.
The future is electric, heat pumps, most transport (trucks, cars, and many farm machines), so there is no doubt the grid and generation needs to be expanded.
We have an opportunity to get date centers to help pay for that expansion. Some are already providing their own power generation. The last thing we want is a two tier grid, but out failure to plan may mean all boats won’t rise together. Just invest in the grid for 2050, but do it now.
If data centres build their own renewable energy to the grid then they’ll be looking for said energy to prioritise the data centres? Is anyone else sort of thinking “no shit”, like what’s the actual downside if they’re putting their own investment into renewable energy?
> It called for climate protections to be built into the law, including that private wires proposals should require climate impact assessments, and provision in the law to prevent private wires from connecting to fossil fuel plants.
This sort of makes sense, but it’s the bureaucratic nonsense that’s given us a housing crisis and an energy crisis… Although I do agree with not connecting to fossil fuel plants, but with this encourage the wires to be on a completely separate grid – avoiding the opportunity for them to feed excess electricity to us?
If they want to run their data centres on clean electricity then let them you ponces
