I appreciate this if only because most people seem to take things at face value rather than really thinking about the methodology and whether it makes sense or is potentially flawed.

“If only“ is this your way of signalling that you remain against datacenters?

Quite the contrary. There’s a lot of misinformation about data centers, that I think in a lot of ways is a result of people’s fear of AI. It also doesn’t help that data centers have opened a lot of eyes to how poor our utility infrastructure is and how corrupt many local governments are. A lot of the concerns people seem to have about datacenters is largely solved by local governments creating and enforcing sensible building codes and tax policy.
