Finland: Google stops work on data centres

Finland is in a strong negotiating position when it comes to large corporations wanting to invest in the country, says Helsingin Sanomat:

“Google could, however, be doing the Finnish mindset a favour. Other giants are also setting their sights on the country’s energy and mineral resources. Finland should not be timid in dealing with them, but must boldly defend its own interests. Renewable energy and mineral resources are so coveted in today’s world that interested parties are clearly prepared to pay for them and respect Finnish legislation – and by extension, the Finns.”
