AI energy | Right to buy | Poor handwriting | Playing to the gallery | Late delivery | Cleaning up
Re your article (Tech firms call for zonal electricity pricing in UK to fuel AI datacentres, 10 February), if artificial intelligence was showing even basic intelligence, it would tell its bosses not to set up in remote areas. AI should be in cities, where the waste heat generated by high electricity usage can be put to good use heating homes. And why should tech firms think they have a right to cheaper power than anyone else?
