A few weeks back I wrote about how data centres are preying on what's left of Australia's dream of massive green energy exports www.crikey.com.au/2025/12/23/d... Now: Andrew Forrest's clean megaprojects are turning to data centres, too: reneweconomy.com.au/cheaper-and-...

After France, Denmark is moving too: its Digitalisation Ministry plans to phase out Microsoft, switching to Linux and LibreOffice in the coming months. The goal is clear—reduce dependence on a handful of global tech giants and strengthen digital sovereignty.
