It was always celebrated by various Irish governments that the kip was just the place for US tech companies to invest in, the two main reasons were that we speak English while the second, not quite so openly talked about, was that we have a moderate climate meaning that data farms are cheaper to keep cool. Other nonsense such as being a friendly country 'at the heart of Europe' was also thrown into the mix.Data farms consume vast amounts of energy which is why we hear all the puffery about rewilding and breeding cows that don't fart methane etc, anything to meet the net carbon zero targets, which are pure fantasy anyway, but those big fancy 'pooter thingies have got to be kept going somehow.</blockquote>
