Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. You ask an AI model something. It answers in a second. You picture nothing much - maybe a soft white cloud. The truth weighs thousands of tonnes and never switches off. Behind every AI answer sits a physical building: windowless, always awake, drawing power with the same stubborn steadiness…as a beating heart. This book follows the real infrastructure behind the AI boom - the land sealed for decades, the water no one counts, the lifecycle emissions hidden behind a single operating figure, and how the cost of expanding the power grid actually gets distributed among all of us. Grounded in Swedish data and extended across the European Union, the United Kingdom, and Ireland, the book tracks how three governments have each, independently, arrived at the same conclusion within the space of a year: not a ban on data centres, but a price on the terms of entry. Brussels chose disclosure and efficiency mandates. Westminster chose grid-queue reform and designated growth zones. Dublin replaced four years of ambiguity with a binding, priced condition - an 80 percent renewable-generation requirement matched to actual grid capacity. The book also looks further afield - to Ireland's own earlier moratorium, the Netherlands' land-use battles, Singapore's strict efficiency ceiling, and Virginia's new consumption tax - before asking the question almost never asked in public: on what terms should this infrastructure be built, and who ultimately bears the cost? The picture that emerges is neither alarmist nor uncritically positive. Data centres create real economic value. They also strain grids that are already stretched thin, in precisely the places they most want to be built. The question is rarely whether we should have data centres. We should. The real question - the one almost never discussed in public - is on what terms they get built, and who ends up paying the bill. Grounded in government data, regulatory decisions, and international research, written for the curious reader rather than the specialist. This item is printed on demand.

Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. Die Cloud wiegt nichts. Aber das Rechenzentrum wiegt etwas. Hinter jeder KI-Anfrage steht ein Gebaeude: fensterlos, stromhungrig, niemals im Ruhezustand. Es verbraucht Land, Wasser und Netzkapazitaet - und trotzdem bleibt die eigentliche Frage seltsam unausgesprochen: zu welchen Bedingungen…sollte diese Infrastruktur gebaut werden? Thorsten Grund nimmt Sie mit auf eine Reise durch Schweden, die EU, das Vereinigte Koenigreich, Irland - und mit besonderem Fokus auf Deutschland, OEsterreich und die Schweiz. Klar, sachlich und ohne Alarmismus zeigt er, was hinter der "Cloud"-Metapher wirklich steckt: - Warum ein Rechenzentrum mehr Land versiegelt, als die meisten Menschen ahnen - Wie Netzkosten unsichtbar auf Ihre Stromrechnung verteilt werden - Was Deutschlands Energieeffizienzgesetz (EnEfG) tatsaechlich verlangt - und warum es das schaerfste Instrument der EU ist - Wie Irland, die Niederlande, Singapur und die USA dieselbe Frage ganz unterschiedlich geloest haben - Warum die beste Umweltentscheidung oft auch die beste wirtschaftliche ist Fundiert durch schwedische Netzdaten, EU-Regulierungsakten, deutsche Gesetzestexte und irische Regulierungsentscheidungen - und geschrieben fuer alle, die verstehen wollen, was wirklich hinter dem Wort "Cloud" steckt, bevor die naechste Genehmigung erteilt wird. Fuer Leser, die tiefer blicken wollen als die Marketingsprache der Tech-Branche erlaubt. This item is printed on demand. Shipping may be from our UK warehouse or from our Australian or US warehouses, depending on stock availability.
