The growing power and water needs of the data industry are attracting increased scrutiny as demand for low carbon energy increases across society.
'Come friendly bombs and fall on Slough!' wrote poet John Betjeman in 1937. The scruffy trading estate west of London may only have got uglier since. But it's definitely not somewhere you'd want to obliterate. Slough is now Europe's largest data hub and the second largest in the world. Nearly every foreign exchange transaction passes through a single data centre here.
The industry argues responsibility for the issue lies as much with the Irish government - responsible for improving access to low-carbon sources of energy - as with the industry. 'The focus really needs to be on generation of energy. And that's where we have failed,' says Michael McCarthy, director of industry group Cloud Infrastructure Ireland.
