Thanks for linking those sources. I think this is the key part of the article: > increased demand over the coming years, including data centres, cryptocurrency miners and greenhouses. Price them out. Don't give sweetheart deals to uses that aren't beneficial to the local economy. Additionally, these uses don't necessitate baseload. Crypto should be using cheap, renewable variable power sources. I'm genuinely curious what greenhouses means in this case. Heating indoor crops in the winter? Geothermal would be more effective for this.
