It's already happening. > They are politically and societally paralyzed from building even basic things like datacenters which are essentially just industrial compute factories and the foundation for anything pertaining to data sovereignty and technology sovereignty. No, they are not entirely blind to the consequences of this buildout and are trying to find a balance between environmental concerns and technological progress. I agree that we should probably do more but to use words like 'societally paralyzed' is rather uninformed about what actual democracies look like. edit: never mind, I just checked your comment history, this seems to be some thing that you are repeating over and over and getting the same kind of answers but you just keep doing it.

If Europe can't even build data centers, which come with low to moderate environmental impact, they won't manage to deploy a Starlink alternative either. Even though they could use SpaceX launch capacity to deploy such a constellation, Europe has no such plans. Your comment seems to reinforce the parent's opinion about societal paralyzation. Europe can claim to be cleaner or more democratic, but it doesn't change that they get nothing done.
>edit: never mind, I just checked your comment history, this seems to be some thing that you are repeating over and over and getting the same kind of answers but you just keep doing it I've noticed this with people in tech who spend too much time on Twitter. They have a very weird view of Europe. It used to be the Fox New boomers but it has spread to people who you'd assume were pretty smart. To be honest it's part of the reason I left Twitter and only visit this site rarely. Sucks as I've had some awesome discussions here in the past. My suspicion is that it's related to the drop in standards in tech since the big ramp up in the 2010s and the way Meta and the crypto folks don't want regulation so a lot of their employees have a vested interested in bashing the organisation capable of actually introducing some good regulation.
