Ireland's data centre industry has long justified its massive expansion here on the basis of being able to operate with lower emissions than the alternative. But this is not a genuine reason, as this article makes clear:

PSA: People on bikes aren’t swerving to annoy drivers, they’re just trying not to die or destroy their mode of transportation.
This is generally what the bike portion looks like of our “shared” roads. Glorious.
