Norway will be a good place for datacenters with all that electricity, modern economy and ambient coldness.
- flanked-evergl 9mo agoOur economy is modern in that it has been reorganized to divert tax revenue to unemployed migrants who then use that to buy up property and other goods and services, thus driving up the living cost for taxpayers. There have also been various other initiatives that have significantly driven up the electricity cost and made industry almost entirely non-viable. 10/10 Labour government. Top A #1 top economy. Amazing Inflation creation capabilities and expertise. Everything is better except for the things which are worse which is everything.

- flanked-evergl 9mo agoHydropower in Norway is dead, it's too effective, so we have to switch to worse options so that Europe can become less competitive and be more vulnerable to the predations of Russia and China.

- matsemann 9mo agoUnfortunately we're here selling ourselves too cheap. Municipalities gets blinded by big tech asking for cheap electricity and land and give them all they want, thinking it will lead to massive activity, affluent jobs etc. But after everything is built, there's a few janitors left and it's all controlled from abroad. But now the citizens pay more for their electricity, and have to build new water facilities to deal with the water usage from the centers.
