"Greens call for temporary ban on new data centres"
Very sensible. Their carbon footprint is cause anough for concern, but when so much of the country is already under hosepipe bans, the idea of building stuff with that kind of water consumption is bonkers.

@statsguy@mas.to Imagine you're watching your garden shrivel up and blow away for lack of water, but down the road some data centre is slurping up water probably at some bargain rate from the same local water company that keeps raising your bills. It's the kind of thing that makes a person snap and run amok. A last straw. Then everyone says 'guy went crazy because his roses died. What a loon!' 😠
