（原标题：爱面临损失高达40亿欧元数据中心投资的风险） 《爱尔兰独立报》2月8日报道，尽管爱尔兰已经解除了对数据中心的禁令，但那些已经通过规划审 批的数据中心项目仍可能损失高达40亿欧元的投资。爱政府上个月解除了对新建数据中心连接的禁令， 公用事业监管委员会 (CRU) 发布了一项新政策，允许包括数据中心在内的大型能源用户进行新的投 资。这项政策举措"非常积极"，并带来了明确的指导。但就实际情况而言，能源短缺问题依然存在。大 约有价值60亿至80亿欧元的数据中心项目已经获得了规划许可，但在过去两年里一直处于停滞状态，超 过50%的项目很可能在短期内消失。爱尔兰电网公司（Eirgrid）正在宣布对电网基础设施进行巨额投 资，但还需要大幅加快步伐。此外，这对本地科技产业不利，一些公司总部设在爱尔兰，部分原因在于 靠近数据中心，这可能对爱产生长期影响。 ...

能源隐忧初现，产业打击隐伏 俄乌冲突刚爆发那会儿，欧洲那边就乱套了。天然气管道供应中断，价格一下子上蹿下跳，荷兰期货市 场在2022年8月最高冲到每兆瓦时339欧元，比之前贵了好几倍。德国工厂用电贵得离谱，每千瓦时0.5 欧元，差不多是我们这边的七到八倍。 钢铁、铝和化肥这些行业成本直线上升，德国钢铁每吨比我们高出188美元，电解铝多出5110美元，合 成氨也贵了3280美元。不少企业扛不住了，关门的关门，搬走的搬走，几千家工厂转移到能源便宜的地 方去，美国和中国成了热门选择。 欧洲工业大国像德国、法国、意大利，损失惨重，直接经济损失超1500亿欧元，间接的得有万亿级别。 港口外头，集装箱堆得老高，设备拉走运往海外。郊区车间里头，机器停摆，灰尘到处飞。 美国加入"午夜锤击"，炸福尔多地下，地面震动。冲突12天，伊朗导弹落卡塔尔美军基地，尘埃中士兵 撤。停火后红海不稳，船长扫描海面，警惕无人机。 油价波动，升级时近91美元。要全面爆发，伊朗出口减200万桶/日，价飙108美元。我们从中东进口石 油八成，红海主道。 油轮队海军护航，雷达锁定目标，直升机监视。一旦封锁，供应断，炼油厂原料缺，管道空转，工人等 补给。 ...
