Google and Microsoft managed to get in The Netherlands special datacenters plus a windmill park for their worldwide needs. Ground is very scarse and expensive in NL and there will not be enough energy for households this way. 😡

After that Facebook tried to establish big datacenters in NL too. Local politicians, still thinking that Big Tech is for the public good, said yes. But others got alarmed and protests came. FB's plan was cancelled. Datacenters need cooling water, not good for the environment.
