I think there are plenty of ways to provide cheaper green power in Europe, if it is permitted.

In general, I don't understand the need to colocate data centers with the companies programming them - I'm sure there are many jurisdictions other than the US or EU that could spin up cheaper power.

To start, EU data protection laws make it almost impossible to store customer PII overseas or send it to overseas data centers for inference.

And as an EU citizen I like that they do. After all this is what they are for.
