Same shameful tactics in the US:

Data Centres pay for electricity. They don’t get it for free.
From next year we will all see an extra levy on our bills to contribute to this upgrade. If data centres are not paying their fair share, then we will pay more than our fair share.
Not to mention that Data Centres will be the driving force for getting us fined by the EU for missing carbon emission targets
Big business not paying their share in Ireland….. surely not? I find this very hard to believe,….. 🙄
Oh are they not paying the same rates and taxes as the rest of us? /s
Ah. The weasel words of “fair share”. MNC’s contribute 65% of our total tax take already. The MNC’s and there data centres are not just paying their fair share, they are hugely subsiding Sinn Fein’s supporter base who aren’t paying their fair share.
In other news, water is wet.
My understanding is that the majority of data centers are paying less than cost for energy so we are essentially subsidizing their energy use.
