How much carbon (using electricity from our grid) does the average Irish data centre emit?

That’s gas.

guys, turn off the water while you brush your teeth. We’re thinking about the environment here.

Gas for fucks sake. This is the reason why nobody born in the 70s or later gets to receive any pension whatsoever. We are shortsightedly throwing our advanced civilization on the train tracks of the collapsing climate.

In a future of AI and humanoid robots, data centres are going to be the thing that will give countries advantage.
They are the new service sector.
Not having them in the next five years will be extremely detrimental to the economy.

Think of the employment opportunities/s

As a backup – sure. As primary – not really.
On the other hand we are building 2 gas power plants that will have a planned runtime of a few dozen hours a year. But that’s just half a billion Euro.

What they actually mean is new gas fired power stations built near the new data centered like the one under construction in Clondalkin

Guys, we need more data centres. How else are the billionaire tech class going to continuously feed us with AI slop, crypto and brain rot social media? We barely survived as a civilization before the Internet so we need to exponentially continue to seek profits and destroy the planet/society because we will cease existing without it. It’s that easy

You see the gas thing about data centres is the gas part is only half of it!

The government doesn’t give a fuck about you. They’d let you freeze to death in winter if it keeps these companies happy.
