Water-resource conflicts already happening in Spain, Ireland and the Netherlands will only worsen now that the EU Commission plans to triple data centre capacity in Europe over the next five to seven years. Little thought has been given to the oligopolistic cloud market and how it will evolve if the EU triples its data centre capacity.

      For “normal” datacenters i agree. We need EU based cloud services.

      For AI shit, it’s not late enough. Give it two more years, LLMs are already cracking under the strain of being exceptionally unprofitable.

      Having EU datacenters is fine, wasting money on the current trend of propping up Nvidia’s stock price is a gigantic waste.
