Experts have raised concerns that the sudden surge in power demand driven by datacentres could derail climate targets in Ireland and across Europe.

Google, which has based its European headquarters in Ireland, said earlier this month that its datacentres risked delaying its green ambitions after driving a 48% increase in its overall emissions last year compared with 2019...

Ireland relied on fossil fuels for more than 50% of its electricity last year, of which 45% was generated by gas plants and the remainder from burning coal, peat or oil. Wind power made up 34.6% of Ireland’s electricity, while solar contributed 1.2%.

The RWNJs are against mining and new infrastructure construction jobs lately.

Now they are against data centres apparently .

Quite ironic as they post on the internet .
