Professor Deirdre Ahern:

There was a European regulation last year which will require all the data centres in Europe to make disclosures on energy consumption, power, water, etc. It is said that sunlight is the best disinfectant. It is about putting it out there and making it transparent. It is almost like our observatory idea. First, there is data gathering. We would very much welcome that taking place in Departments, and in other bodies. We are learning on this as well. We are open to it.
