The “analysis” was done by “Centre for Net Zero”………definitely not biased at all…….lol
Offshore wind is one of the most environmentally destructive methods of power generation.
Also this is saying that they are making their own small power grid purely to power the data center - why? A nuclear plant would power this + half the country as well. Making nuclear plant just to power this, with it making 5x the power needed, is not how it would work.
Offshore wind is one of the most environmentally destructive methods of power generation.
Interesting claim (as compared with coal mining and its fly-ash ponds, Canadian tar sands, hundreds of bankrupt and leaking well sites in New Mexico and the Gulf of America, rivers stripped by nuclear heat waste, etc). What exactly does most mean?
“net zero” just means you don’t elect for the far more environmentally destructive method of burning fossil fuels
also, it seems the jury’s still out on offshore turbines’ environmental impact. some say it creates artificial reefs while some say its tons of noise disrupt marine life
Net zero organisations have shown a clear agenda against nuclear, which is ironic considering it’s the cleanest and most reliable power generation method, as well as taking up the smallest footprint with the least environmental disruption. “Net zero” in reality means “renewables” only.
Offshore turbines require insane amounts of concrete, steel, oil, and non renewable non recyclable materials not just to make, but to maintain. There’s also no doubt about them altering the ecosystems around them, and not for the better. They also aren’t even a viable option in most countries.
I’ve heard this as well, but in doing this they would either make a significantly smaller and cheaper one that isn’t outputting 5x the power required, or they’d do a deal with the local councils/government to provide lower for them as well.
This “study” is comparing the cost of 80 units of power generation for “renewables” to over 400 units for nuclear. Is just yet another dishonest agenda driven “study” for the anti-nuclear groups.
Nuclear is the most expensive with long term waste, and is an existential threat.
As if we could trust industry and the government right now, ha.
We already have 4 reactors on active fault lines, others in storm surge areas of ocean, increasingly severe storms. A meltdown is when not if, as is improper disposal of waste and the ones making it sticking society with it’s cost.

generally agree but tech firms are looking into small modular reactors sized for datacenters.
