New wind farm in the North Sea supplies first power to the electricity grid – IT Pro – News

I can see the difference, the problem is that the large multinationals are brought in, so that this generated power will be consumed by this party in the future.

Take the example of the Hollands Kroon wind farm, where theoretically 300,000 households could be supplied with green electricity, whatever the initial plan was. This creates support among the local population because the costs (horizon pollution) are compensated by a lower energy bill.

But on the side, Theo Meskers has been lobbying Microsoft, among others, to get it to A7 Agriport with the worst that this green energy goes directly to the data center.

As a result, a foreign company that owns the wind farm through a subsidy (read money from the population) receives all the lusts and in addition a foreign company that manages the data center receives this cheap power. That completely misses the point.

The focus must be to make existing consumption more sustainable, but not to bring in multinationals, so that consumption only increases extensionally and the final bill once again comes to Jan with the short name, while these multinationals do not pay any local tax but do pay all subsidies.
