Unfortunately they should have used AI to get advice on the best locations, given the resentment, costs and energy requirements. But, they didn't. ChatGPT and Gemini would not have said: it has to be Park Royal. 😳😳😳

Putting these things right in the middle of cramped residential areas is crazy

Natural Explorers :
Data centres may bring investment, but they also come with serious costs for local communities: huge electricity and water consumption, constant noise from cooling systems and generators, more heat and industrial infrastructure, and potentially lower residential appeal and property values for homes nearby. Before approving them, communities should consider who gets the benefits — and who is left living with the costs.
