It is not realistic that data centers would be able to replace even a fraction of the jobs and revenues of the forest industry.
For example, the Google data center in Hamina directly employs about 125 people. The taxes are limited to salaries, power, etc. I'm pretty sure (although didn't check) that the data center is not turning a profit, even though it probably does generate a tremendous amount of money for Google.
