Former chemical plant in North Wales, UK, could become AI data center (www.datacenterdynamics.com)

A former chemical plant in North Wales, UK, could be turned into a data center under plans put forward by AI infrastructure firm Carbon3.ai.

The data center would be built on the site of the former Octel factory at Amlwch Port, located on the island of Anglesey, North Wales.

Carbon3.ai has submitted a planning application to Anglesey County Council, requesting a change of use for the site to enable the data center to be built.

In its application, the company said it would adapt and “reuse existing buildings within the industrial complex, enabling the delivery of a modern, energy-efficient AI center that will provide secure, sustainable and high-capacity computing infrastructure in support of the UK’s digital and AI sectors.”

You're right.

You tried to make an argument addressing my point and decided that, rather than responding, you would try to red herring the conversation onto the topic of your feelings and then, once that didn't work, are now resorting to setting up strawman positions to attack.

You're almost due for the dismissive insulting comment declaring the conversation over. I look forward to reading your next output.

What a surprise, I did not see this coming.

I hope you didn't hurt your finger on that downvote button, my feelings are very hurt so it was worth it.
