so much for all that environmental friendly iceland!
- otoburb 9y agoThe article states "[Iceland] has seen a marked increase in the number of new data centres, often built by firms wishing to tout green credentials. Nearly 100% of energy in Iceland comes from renewable sources." Unless that's false, Iceland looks like it is still about as environmentally friendly as it was before agreeing to build Moonlite. Perhaps the more interesting question is what Iceland will do to meet the increase in domestic energy demand. Presumably a crude first-order response will be to increase input costs across the board by jacking up commercial electricity rates (assuming they can differentiate between retail vs. commercial facilities).
