Juho Hirvelä wrote in a Yle news article that 145 data centers were planned in Finland and that four of them would use more electricity than 2.2 million Finns. He compared this to the decline of domestic meat production, which he claimed was justified by saving the climate, and described the situation as hypocrisy. https://t.co/6vikQsLpvR #datakeskukset #ilmastonmuutos #Suomi (translated)

Edvard Vapaamieli claimed that Finland was deliberately being driven towards electricity and food shortages, unrest, diseases, economic collapse, and war. He wrote that in his opinion, the situation could only be explained by a power grab and the fact that the state leadership was implementing a foreign agenda. https://t.co/JG2VKzE2je #Suomi #kriisi #valtapolitiikka (translated)

The author pondered what energy security meant in a situation where dependence on Russia decreased but electricity consumption increased. He wrote that a recent report by EU inspectors showed that there was still much to be done to ensure energy security and referred to his column addressing the topic. https://t.co/6rEHE50Rp1 #energiaturvallisuus #energia #EU #FI #RU (translated)

Miika criticized the competence of the coalition minister and described it as being at a kindergarten level. He wrote that as the threat of a power shortage loomed, the minister advised citizens to switch to a fixed-price electricity contract, and asked how that would alleviate the shortage. https://t.co/z7uB5RzNHl #sähköpula #osaaminen #suomi (translated)

The author called the proposal regarding the reform of the electricity market in the government's statement dangerous. According to him, it would halt the construction of new electrical connections for a year and economic growth, and transfer the decision-making power regarding connections to authorities, leaving companies waiting. #sähkötalous #sähkömarkkinat #politiikka #FI (translated)

Vesa Kallionpää wrote that Hesari was interested in the price of diesel in the United States but not in Ivalo. According to him, the price difference was more than 1.5 euros to Finland's detriment. Kallionpää also criticized the idea that expensive fuel would be a good thing because of the prevalence of electric cars, stating that agriculture and the national economy would suffer from it. https://t.co/DFXm3eQSdA #diesel #polttoaine #sähköautot (translated)

Maria Rautanen wrote that a law was being prepared in Finland that would require the installation of solar panels on existing public buildings larger than 250 m² starting in 2031. She linked the preparation to the EU's Energy Efficiency Directive for Buildings and asked whether the effects of the directive were adequately assessed in Finnish conditions. Rautanen argued that Finland could not be compared to sunny Mediterranean countries that used a lot of fossil fuels. She noted that Finland's electricity consumption emission factor was only 26 g CO₂/kWh in 2025 and pointed out that solar panels produced energy mostly in the summer when the electricity system was already low-emission and energy consumption was lower. She wrote that the solar panel production chain was heavily concentrated in China and that a lot of coal-generated electricity was still used in their manufacturing. According to Rautanen, 78,000 MW of new coal power was commissioned in China in 2025. Rautanen asked who would pay for the new investments while municipalities were balancing their budgets and welfare areas were looking for savings. She demanded a calculation of the costs and financing of the investments, as well as how much the solar panels made in China would reduce Finland's CO₂ emissions over their entire lifespan. She also questioned whether the panels would offset their carbon footprint during production and assessed that the rationality of the directive in Finland could not be determined without a calculation based on Finnish conditions. https://t.co/ba6sqYwZ2l #Aurinkoenergia #Energiatehokkuus #Suomi (translated)

Maria Rautanen wrote that the price of electricity varies according to weather conditions, from zero to the clouds, and noted that there is no power reserve for the winter of 2026-2027. She welcomed the winter and emphasized that energy and supply security are the foundation of societal functioning, not side issues. #sähkö #energia #huoltovarmuus (translated)

The iron chancellor praised Grok Bot and mentioned that he had implemented bots in several routine tasks. According to him, they managed the calendar, emails, and Drive, reminded about routines and unpaid bills, and retrieved key codes for the cottage by speaking to the car. The iron chancellor also stated that one bot was leading a project that had three coders. Two of them were, according to him, ordinary Grok discussions, and meetings were held using the agents' own email addresses. He said he accepted the question cards raised by the bots and monitored token usage. Additionally, according to him, his bots were already messaging his friends' bots, and he planned to only give others his agent's address in the future and leave Gmail for campaign messages. #tekoäly #automaatiota #teknologia (translated)

Maria Rautanen wrote that wind power produced nearly as much electricity last night as was consumed in all of Finland, which she claimed drove the price of electricity down. She noted that some wind farms approved for the feed-in tariff before 2017 were still receiving support, which had a target price of €83.50/MWh. Rautanen pointed out that while the abundant electricity production lowered prices, support was still being paid from state funds, and she argued that consumers were paying for it. #tuulivoima #sähkö #ilmastonmuutos (translated)

Samu Mökillä wrote that in Finland, with its long distances, many families needed a car for their daily lives, and that the fuel prices raised by the Middle East crisis had increased the cost of essential transportation. He criticized the proposal to use the commuting tax deduction to alleviate the situation, arguing that it mainly benefited commuters. According to him, the support would not help, for example, farmers, the transport sector, or lawnmowers. Mökkilä asked why fuel prices could be lowered elsewhere in the world but not in Finland, and considered the commuting tax deduction insufficient if the cost of living was also rising. He estimated that individual support lost its significance as general inflation consumed purchasing power. The rise in fuel costs would also increase freight rates, food production, industry, and logistics, which would be reflected in the prices of many products. He called for a reduction in distribution obligations and taxes instead of subsidies and described the commuting support as a small band-aid for a broader increase in living costs. According to Mökillä, politicians wanted to appear to be doing something, even if the support's impact on people's wallets was overshadowed by rising prices. Mökkilä also wrote that the state budget was heavily in deficit and dependent on revenues collected from motorists. He stated that high fuel taxes were part of climate policy, but rural residents, actors in the transport sector, and small entrepreneurs often had no opportunity to change their fleets or reduce driving. He criticized politicians for disregarding the situation of ordinary Finns, saying that while there was talk of savings, millions were sent to a terrorist organization. #Suomi #polttoaine #talous (translated)

Did I understand this correctly that the Russian state has done a prank in a member of parliament's toilet? A little while ago, I posted about how a hybrid attack from Russia is expected from the power outlet. That post was not a joke. The concern for people's mental health is real. https://t.co/mxnY4UKrqP #Venäjä #hybridihyökkäys #mielenterveys (translated)

No one in Finland surely believed for a moment that Google would bring new electricity along with the data centers. The politicians just pretended to believe it. Next, these same faces will act surprised when the jobs remain a fraction of what was promised and no taxes are paid either. https://t.co/e1IrzjOu11 #Suomi #teknologia #politiikka (translated)
