Data centers, which store and process digital information for corporations, have significantly increased electricity costs for Irish households by an estimated €360 between 2015 and 2023, while also enabling government surveillance through digital ID systems; Ireland has the highest share of data center power consumption in Europe due to hosting major tech company headquarters, creating a complex trade-off between economic benefits and citizen privacy and financial burdens.

Data Centres Facilitating Digital ID Into IrelandAdded:
Data centers are coming to destroy all of our lives in Ireland. And I'm going to prove it to you here today. So, for those who don't know, data centers have cost Ireland higher energy costs for all households in this country. It says here from a brand new article from RT, a new report into data centers in Ireland has suggested that their electricity consumption may be resulting in higher energy costs for us, the households. But don't listen to it may be costing us higher. It absolutely is costing us more. The modeling exercise found that the average household may have paid an estimated €360 in additional electricity costs between 2015 and 2023. So over the course of what 8 years right there, the average household has had to pay an extra €360 because huge data companies want to come in and control data. Now let me just start from the top because I I don't want to go too quickly on this video.
What are data centers? They are centers that store all of your information that you scroll through that you have online, your cookies, everything online. All of your digital footprint is stored in these huge massive data centers. And what is it used for? Well, I'm glad you asked. It's sold off to people and big corporations and they make lots of money off them. Okay? So, the corporations sell the data to companies and they make money off us, guys. Now, here's the catch. We have never agreed to this.
Well, technically you agreed to it on your phone, but if you want to go on the internet, if you want to browse any website, YouTube, Instagram, Tik Tok, whatever you're doing, guys, you have to agree and sign up to have your data tracked and stolen from you. Cuz really, they're not asking us. Technically, like I said, you sign a little thing, you know, you use your thumb print, but really nobody wants to have their data tracked because they make it illegal for you to get on the internet unless you actually sign off on having your data stored. Now, your data is stored from the minute that you're born, the minute that you actually start using social media. I started using Facebook, I think, when I was 18 years old. I didn't have a phone. I didn't have social media before that. I had nothing before I was 18 years old. Still didn't really use it till I was about 21 because we had dialup Wi-Fi. We didn't have Wi-Fi. We just had dialup internet. It was Right. [snorts] So, very interesting that they're storing our data without actually giving consent for that. I don't want them to know absolutely everything about us, but we know that everything is stolen from us. There's no privacy in Ireland or the world since 2012, I believe, with all these whistleblowers that, you know, left the US to go to Russia. Now, all these different people, Edward Snowden, these people have revealed to the public that yes, the governments of the world are tracking every single thing that we do online and they're tracking us in person. So, let's actually get into this guys because not only is our data getting stolen and that's how they make money of us, we're also paying for it ultimately, we're also paying €360 over the last eight years to take our data.
They're we're paying for them to steal our data from us. Have you ever heard such insanity? And also guys, I'll show you videos later on that these data centers are massive now in the US and there's such noise pollution from them.
It sounds like a jet taking off 24/7 from morning to nighttime. 24/7 these data centers are running and it sounds like a jet engine taking off and they will soon be coming here to Ireland.
Okay, these sort of noise pollution data centers will be coming to Ireland as well. It says here it found the average household may have paid an estimated €360 in additional costs between 2015 and 2023 due it says to the intensity of the data center presence on the grid. It said while its findings are based in assumptions, the overall trend is clear.
The rapid and inflexible growth in data center consumption appears to be increasing wholesale electricity prices for consumers. Like I said, I would prefer if we didn't have any data centers. We should do a vote here in Ireland to get rid of all data centers.
I don't want the government to track anything about us, especially not my online data. But we know, like I said, since 2013, since I was 18 years old, they've been tracking absolutely everything. And we have no say in it, guys. If we want to use the internet, we're going to be tracked. Hilarious how that is. And then they're going to charge us for it. And then they're going to take that data. And then they're going to charge companies to steal that data from us as well. It's crazy.
They're making money off us in ways we couldn't even believe. Lads, just by using the internet, we have to pay for it and they're making money off us.
Sooner or later, they're going to have us pay for the internet. We're going to have to have digital ID. We're going to have to have a license to go on the internet. It's all coming down the line.
Control, censorship, and authoritarianism 1984 is coming down the line. It is said while its findings are based on assumptions, the overall trend is clear. Rapid and flexible growth of data center power consumption appears to be increasing the electricity prices.
Now, these aren't assumptions. They know for a fact, guys, what these centers are doing. Absolutely, without a doubt, we're paying for these centers to be running. It is also said that given the extraordinary volatility of fossil fuel pricing in recent years and likely in the future, the dependency on gas in the power system combined with the high and steady electricity increasing data center demand makes Irish households further exposed to wholesale electricity cost increase. So, our electricity prices are going to keep jacking up, guys. And it's going to be higher and higher every year. A lot of people now are investing in solar, air, wind, whatever. But is that gonna even make a difference over the 10 20 year period?
Maybe. Or it might not, guys. It might all come back around in 20 years time where the solar panels that you have in your houses isn't going to make that much of a difference in the long run.
You see, the report states that in the last decade, data centers have become a significant feature here with Ireland having the highest share of data center power consumption of any other country in Europe. Now, of course, why is this?
Because we have Apple, Google, YouTube, all the headquarters. I believe X headquarters is also in in Ireland. All the biggest headquarters are here in Ireland. That's why we have the biggest share. Guys, Tanisha urges against portraying data centers as boogeyman. Of course, the globalist elite that run the government don't want us to hate these data centers, but these data centers are evil. They're big corporations that we're paying for and they're stealing our data and they're tracking every movement that we do. A2 TD Paul Lawless challenged the government to introduce legislation to regulate electricity prices paid by data centers. That's great. That would be good, guys. He says today in Ireland a pensioner living alone or a family pays almost two times more in terms of a unit of electricity than a data center despite the fact that many data centers are part of the wealthiest corporations in the world and the demand from the data centers is actually driving up the cost of electricity as well. Perfectly well said. You know these data centers should be paying a premium but no who absorbs the cost the people. You know it's going to get to a point where the people are going to be angry guys and the anger is coming down the line. We can't keep fitting the bill for everything. We have a tax for everything in this country. We have a car tax. We have a house tax. We have property tax. We have a flipping what is it? Dog tax, TV tax, TV license.
I mean all these things. A water license, water charge. Everything in this country that's coming down the line is just to basically get us to charge more, work more, and actually have less.
That's all it is. Mr. Harris insisted the government was taking steps to help citizens mitigate rising energy costs. I highly doubt it. I'd be interested in your position on data centers because it's easy to come in and say the data centers are bad or make the data centers the boogeyman. Why would he be supporting data centers? Nobody in their right mind as a citizen of the world would support a data center unless they're trying to track citizens, which of course they're doing. They're in bed with these big corporations. They're getting probably underhand shady deals from these governments and these corporations 100% lads. 1,000%. I would not be surprised. She said, "I'm the Minister for Finance in this country, and the evidence available to the government is that across the six sectors in Ireland that are identified as being the most dependent on data centers, it's estimated that order of 100 billion in annual annual gross value, additional 875,000 jobs and 14.6 billion in annual employment related taxes were enabled by data center capacity located in Ireland.
So, the data centers are happening us.
Where are these 875,000 jobs coming from though? We're not being employed. The Irish people aren't being employed in any of these 900,000 jobs. They're bringing in foreign people to work at these data centers. A thousand%. We're getting screwed every which way, lads.
Now, what else do data centers do? Here we have an interesting post from lawyers for Justice Ireland. They say that data centers also are necessary for digital ID surveillance system whereby your every movement will be monitored, controlled, traced, and tracked. I said that at the beginning of the video. Not a lot of people know this. Data centers provide the critical IT infrastructure required to instantly process biometrical verification. Not only has Ireland's Europe's highest concentration of data centers relative to its population, with Dublin serving as the largest hypers scale hub, but the government are also leading the way in Europe in their plans to implement draconian legislation restricted access to social media to those who comply with digital ID. Like I said before, this is all control. The only way to descent the government now is with social media. You can't do it any other way, guys, cuz if you do it in person, you're going to go to prison. You can descent the government. Only online can you do that.
Thank God for the internet. But of course, they're going to try and get rid of that with digital ID. And they're going to try and push in more data centers. As he says here, the cabinet has in recent months approved plans for even more data centers in Ireland. We must join as a cohesive force and push back against the destruction of humanity or forever regret our digital imprisonment. You thought going to prison was bad, guys? wait for our digital imprisonment where you can't go on the internet without showing your face. Everything is tracked and monitored. You can't do anything anymore. It's a complete big massive conspiracy which is coming true in real time, lads. And look how this small town in Oregon is celebrating after officially stopping a large data center from being built in their community. The Le Pine City Council voted unanimously to reject the proposed projection and Ireland or bring in more guys. We're voting to bring in more. Well, actually the people aren't voting. The Irish government are voting for us because they know best for us lads. They know they want to put us in digital imprisonment. They are going to destroy Ireland. Ireland is not even going to be a country in 5 to 10 years. The proposal called for a massive 20 megawatt data center which raised concerns about residents about energy use, water consumption, noise, and whether the project would truly benefit the community. Black Rockck and Palanteer frequently appeared in the local community discussions even though the data centers were being built by Box Miner. So the two biggest of course best companies in the world Black Rockck and Palanteer are trying to drive in data centers into Ireland. That sounds good.
>> Last to conclude this matter determined the purchase and sale is closed.
>> A big wave of relief from a very passionate crowd after the Lehine city council decides not to move forward with a proposed data center. That vote unanimous and came after residents voiced strong and often fiery opposition to the proposed project. Good evening and thanks for joining us tonight at 11.
I'm Molly Hendrickson. That city council vote came after hours of public comment.
It was a packed house at the Le Pine Senior Center tonight. The proposal called for a 20 megawatt data center on Reed Road east of Highway 97 in Le Pine.
The proposal has fueled outrage among many in the community. Tonight, many residents raised concerns about energy use, water, noise, and whether the project would really benefit the community. Residents were relieved their voices were heard.
>> And of course, the leftwing, right-wing, we can all agree on this. These are destructive to Irish society. They are going to use up the energy. They're going to destroy the environment.
They're going to use up the water.
They're going to be massively noisy. You guys think it's bad living in the city, you know, and it is. It is bad living in the city with the noise and stuff. Just wait till we get the data centers that are literally the sound of a jet taking off 24/7, lads. You can't even sleep.
You want to flipping jump off a bridge because your brain is so rattled with the noise from these data centers. Well, just wait till that comes in. Oh, it's going to be bad then, lads. You thought it was bad living in the city with the cars in Dublin and Gway and Cork with all the flipping cars and the you know, we have all these people coming from Pakistan now. They drive and theyep they're just blasting the horn 24/7.
That is bad. Wait till we get data centers taking over Ireland. Oh, it's going to be a disaster, lads.
>> I feel really proud of my new community.
I feel really proud that we've had this many people show up. Um, apparently we had a lot of people show up at the last meeting and they decided they needed a bigger space and so we showed up when our community showed up like this. We heard them and we knew what we had felt in our gut all along was the right choice for our community. And I think that's a beautiful thing.
beautiful Americans, strong, passionate, and they're able to resist against tyranny. Here in Ireland, we can't really resist against tyranny. We don't have a freedom of speech. We don't have anything to protect ourselves. Shout out to the US, one of the greatest countries in the world. We don't have that here in Ireland, lads. Unfortunately, we have to basically just take all the that we're given. It's a disaster. I love you all. If you want to support me, hit the join link underneath the video for just 3 per month. We got 65 members to help me push back against the woke liberal elitist agenda. And I'll see you all in the next one, lads.
