Heaven forbid! What’s the world coming to at all at all?
Soooo, they are bringing money into the country, paying taxes, contributing to paying for services like social welfare and the state pensions
I love the way the papers have spun things the last while, saying “rural homes” as if rural homes are by different to urban homes.
Also when the “turf war” was going last week every picture used seemed to be an auld lad cutting by hand, not a big diesel machine that does basically all the cutting these days.
It’s a click bait headline that the rural independents will use to claim that nobody in rural Ireland should have to make any changes to their lifestyle
Well get on building more green energy for Ireland. We have plenty of wind, wave and hydro potential. But the government are not thinking past the next election.
Taking shorter showers seems to be having its’ effect.
Now what? Raise the prices for consumers again!
Is this actually a problem? Kind of an abstract comparison.
They still only use 14%, how much capacity do we have in the network?
As we incorporate more renewables the whole network turns more green and the electricity that they use too.
Plus there’s the district heating systems being introduced to make use of all the waste heat.
Build as many windfarms as possible. Use CPO’s, whatever means necessary.
At least data centres have a purpose.
When they mean rural homes are they discounting all the power used by farmers etc? if so thats a load of bulls**t
I do think the likes of Facebook should fill it roof with solar panels, its not like they dont have the space
Eamon Ryan: … so anyway turf is a really big issue for us.
Id rather have one big datacentre then shit loads of one off housing dotted around the country….
what’s the moan here? They were given planning permission and hooked up to the grid. Is this a shock or something? Blaming data centers for a lack of planning is a cheap lie.
Hook up the data centers to district heating, save turf.
Monstrosities speeding up climate change even more, can humans not be less greedy and accept having less data
The scapegoating of data centres due to the government’s ineptitude on energy policy is idiotic, they need to be somewhere, so energy will be used somewhere, so no real global warming argument.
Secondly, they provide many high-tech, high-paying jobs and associated education incentives.

The ‘blame data centres’ narrative tickles my pickle
That’s a rather specific comparison, do home’s in urban areas not count?
what annoys me about all this is that these places generate huge amounts of heat that uses more electricity to cool it. why are they not built beside hospitals, nursing homes or purpose built housing estates. all that heat could easily heat all these building for way less than it would cost to cool the data center and the building would get ‘free’ heat or at least ‘green’ heat

Be grand, we’ll just start car sharing
