🚨 WEF - “The Future is Ai” “$600 Billion on Data Centres” Larry Fink - “it will be bigger” They are building data centres in huge numbers across the UK & Europe as well - ask yourself - why? Data Centres consume huge amounts of - hey Grok how many homes could be fed with water and energy - equal to that of one large data centre?

Vijay Kedia’s top themes for next 10 years He calls them RISE: > Renewable and transition energy: “As oxygen is important to body, energy is important to nation. Due to AI and Data centres there’s an increased demand.” > Infrastructure and Logistics: “This feels like a sunrise industry for next 10 yrs.” > Security (Defence & Cybersecurity): “Every nation is becoming so much dependent on data, so if someone attacks on data centres, our entire system can come to a standstill.” > Emerging Technology: “AI or Electronic vehicles, payment gateways, or data centres or the new technologies will do well.” - Vijay Kedia. June 2026. Discl: Not a recommendation Cc- Ronit Pereira

🗣 “A data centre can be built in less than 1 year, but the transmission line for electricity needs about 5 years to build.” At the #AIActionSummit, IEA's Fatih Birol underscored the need to expand power grids to meet rising energy needs from data centres ➡️

AI may feel intangible, but its footprint is not. Data centres already consume more electricity than most countries. I’m calling on every major AI company to measure & publicly disclose the full footprint of its systems & to commit to power every data centre with renewable energy by 2030.

Data centres power our economy. From enabling you to get your NHS prescription, to paying for things online. ❗ We've now classed UK data centres as Critical National Infrastructure. 🔒 This means that we can help prevent threats and act quickly in the event of a cyber attack.

AI has the potential to transform the energy sector in the coming decade, driving a surge in electricity demand from data centres globally. In our new video, IEA's Thomas Spencer explores what AI means for energy – and vice versa. Watch it in full 👉

Data centre electricity demand is projected to exceed the entire power consumption of the state. Already, data centres are adding an estimated €1.6 billion to Irish households’ electricity bills, while paying around half the rate charged to ordinary consumers.

Watch this video of one of the largest data centres on earth, under construction in Texas…. The video shows the cooling system used for the Ai GPU CHIPS…. It’s made out of pure copper! Copper is used in data centres to transfer heat as well as electricity.

DATA CENTRES Let me share some uncomfortable information The data Centres they are seeking to build will be the surveillance centres. They will act like the prison warden, monitoring and allocating punishments and giving scores. For those data Centres to work, they will need FRESH WATER to cool the hardware. They will need to divert water from entire dams towards the data centre. For example all the water feeding the Nairobi population will need to be diverted to the data centres for cooling the systems. See the number of legal cases in the USA against the data Centres. We have not talked about radiation that they will produce and affect the populations living in the environs

If climate change is an emergency, why build water/power hungry data centres? This Victorian AI Hub will guzzle more grid power than it generates onsite battery & turbines just prop up the shared system (with gas backups). Data centres could hit 13% of Australia’s electricity by 2040, spiking prices, straining water supplies (hello desalination). Who pays? 🫵🏼🤑

NO. NEW. DATA CENTRES. I stand against American profiteering in Mississauga, and the staggering amount of resources these AI mega centres are going to take from our community. Sign the petition in the bio 📋

Why are we forced to pay for data centres? Ireland to be the dumping group of these big tech companies data centres & their algorithms. We should be able to know what's going on in them. Instead, this government is allowing them to use up massive amounts of water & electricity.

Data centres are energy hungry but what if we could use their waste heat to heat our homes? That's exactly what happens in places like Finland: Cities are tapping the vast amounts of waste heat generated by data centres, and feeding it into district-heating networks.

I was on BBC 1 Panorama last night talking about data centres. Here is a short clip of the segment on Ireland in the programme. Unfortunately RTÉ hasn't covered this issue so it's up to the BBC to actually expose the reality of data centres in Ireland.

Where are all the doomsday climate alarmists now? A quarter of Sydney’s drinking water could soon be needed to cool 270 new AI data centres. Australia is on track to become the world’s second-biggest data centre market. The government is still charging ahead with Net Zero. Have they even factored data centres into the equation?
