Norway will be a good place for datacenters with all that electricity, modern economy and ambient coldness.

Unfortunately we're here selling ourselves too cheap. Municipalities gets blinded by big tech asking for cheap electricity and land and give them all they want, thinking it will lead to massive activity, affluent jobs etc. But after everything is built, there's a few janitors left and it's all controlled from abroad. But now the citizens pay more for their electricity, and have to build new water facilities to deal with the water usage from the centers.

Our economy is modern in that it has been reorganized to divert tax revenue to unemployed migrants who then use that to buy up property and other goods and services, thus driving up the living cost for taxpayers.

There have also been various other initiatives that have significantly driven up the electricity cost and made industry almost entirely non-viable.

10/10 Labour government. Top A #1 top economy. Amazing Inflation creation capabilities and expertise. Everything is better except for the things which are worse which is everything.

Eventually, your leaders will introduce electrified unemployed migrants, which can be fed off of abundant hydropower. Problem solved.

Hydropower in Norway is dead, it's too effective, so we have to switch to worse options so that Europe can become less competitive and be more vulnerable to the predations of Russia and China.

I'm sure clearcutting a spruce forest to fill it with solar panels is a good option; to take advantage of the abundant Norwegian sunshine.

Commercial buildings put solar on the roof and south facing sides.

I’m sure Norway is reducing plenty of virgin aluminum using rooftop solar.

It's used by the biggest grocery distributor to power there electric vehicles. They are produce 95 GWh/year from their own wind and solar installations.

Ah, the heart of an industrial 21st-century economy. Grocery delivery.

You won't have much of any kind of economy without someone delivering your groceries.

So what point are you labouring to make?

Except it is remote and flat land is scarce and very expensive.
