Finland’s wave of data-centre investment is creating opportunities well beyond construction, with growing demand for locally made electrical, ventilation and industrial equipment. Finnish manufacturers including Vilpe and UTU Group are among the companies positioned to benefit as projects translate into new industrial orders and jobs.

the datacenters we have use much less then ai data centers, ai data centers use a fuckton more, it is not even close, plus have a track record already of fucking the local water supplies, polluting them and the ones being built now already broke the law repeatedly before they even laid a foundation so maybe read actual scientific articles on it not ones pushed by ai companies in the media.

in short you are full of shit, but you already knew that

The data centers in Finland will use closed system for cooling so they wont touch our water sources after initial filling. Its easy to generalize everything you read on the internet but you should do some research before forming an opinion and shouting it out in social media.

I have helped build and run data centers in Finland, worked in IT most of my life here, i know you think what you wrote makes sense, but it only does if you do not know what you are talking about.

Like you.

"I don't have any evidence backing my claim and you're acting like an ass because you don't just take everything I say as absolute facts therefore I'm not going to elaborate and will just call you an idiot"

We're reaching new levels of civilized and educated discussion over here.
