[QUOTE="SoundMan, post: 6928151, member: 28532"] Yup. Only a matter of time with The Irish Greens in power under Ryan :-( I heard Ryan being interviewed on the radio this morning and to be fair while he batted the questions on Mica, and Covid Bonus questions off quite well but when asked if there was a Plan B regarding the possibility of Power Cuts he floundered badly. And when pointed out that Datacentres currently ;-) consume 11% and are heading to consume 25+% of our national capacity on electricity, never mind water storage he waffled on about how we must have data centres because without them there'd be no internet and no mobile phones. Eh hello Eamon - without electricity there'll be neither of those things and none of a hell of a lot more either! We as a country have more than our fair share of Datacentres already. Ireland doesn't need more datacentres taking huge amounts of our electricity supply capacity, and millions of litres of water. The Social Democrats are dead right to look for a moratorium on any more datacentres for this country. [/QUOTE]
