Guvernul finlandez cere Google să suspende construcția de centre de date noi, din motive de mediu - Economica.net

A Finnish government agency has requested Google to halt the construction of data centers in Muhos and Kajaani until an environmental impact assessment is completed. This is part of a €13 billion investment in AI infrastructure. The agency suspects illegal deforestation by Tuike Finland, representing Google, and has opened an investigation. Google acknowledged shortcomings in their environmental standards and plans to comply with the agency's recommendations. Finland is experiencing a surge in data center investments due to its favorable climate and energy resources, but public concerns about energy use and environmental impact are rising, leading to a petition for stricter regulations.
