Despite those concerns, Mr. Griffin does not believe there is any validity in bringing in a moratorium on new data centres until we have the research done and we are confident in supply. If this goes belly-up, we are facing blackouts and water shortages. Is it not more prudent to say we will have a moratorium until an impact assessment is done? If Mr. Griffin is saying it is coming from his Department that he does not think there is validity in that, I would be extremely concerned.
