So Google is investing an additional €1 billion into their $3.5B Hamina, Finland data center. The facility will use so much electricity that after the investment, the whole city of Hamina can be heated by the waste heat alone.

It’s not a surprise that the government is hailing this as a huge win and “primarily a significant climate action”. Consuming all those megawatts is significant alright, but maybe not in the way the government talking points imply…
