>It's just typical green politics. Forever backwards

No. In northern italy alone we have tens of thousands unused warehouse spaces.

Let's use that space for datacenters and solar farms instead of destroying forever yet another plot of fertile land.

If data centers will also bring nuclear to power them, i'm all for it. But let's be honest: realistically they will be powered by coal, maybe gas.

As to why we have so much unused warehouses: some legally have no owner, some have declared bankrupcy and will be leased at absurd prices (it will cost half to build a new one), some were costructed illegaly and all stay there in the limbo because the local administrations would have to pay to reclaim the land
