When he says “Europe must choose”, I assume he doesn’t mean by referendum or any democratic way, right?
Well in fact EU is a pretty well functioning democracy, and most member countries are too.
So the decision will be up to democratically elected representatives, that were elected in fair elections.
So it will be mostly democratic.
Here in Denmark datacenters have a waiting line, because renewable production needs to be scaled up to handle it.
Europe is NOT USA. Where datacenters can take over electric supply from smaller cities, leaving them without a supplier for electricity.
My guess is that the lobby that made that statement is centered in USA, and is as braindead as the American Government.
The EU just re-introduced ChatControl after being rejected twice by the elected representatives. The third time, a majority of elected representatives still voted against it, but thanks to a trick embedded in the rules, it passed anyway: introduced as an “urgent” bill, they needed absolute majority to stop it.
So no, sorry, as lond as that kind of shit can happen, the EU is a flawed democracy. Maybe it’s not as fucked as some others, but it’s flawed nonetheless.
The datacenter in Denmark waiting is a good Denmark’s policy. This is not the same in other countries, it is not a EU policy.
