Kabla Google haijafika miezi michache iliyopita, wastani wa robo milioni ya miti ilifunika hekta 330 (ekari 815) za msitu karibu na mji wa Muhos katika vijijini kaskazini mwa Finland. Sasa yote yameondoka. Baada ya kampuni ya teknolojia kusafisha eneo lote kinyume cha sheria ili kujenga kituo cha data—ikichukua hata udongo wa juu—kilichobaki ni eneo kubwa la matope lenye alama za mashine, madimbwi, na marundo ya udongo, mizizi, na matawi. Wakazi wanasema maji ya kahawia yanayotiririka kutoka eneo hilo yanaingia kwenye kijito kinachoelekea Mto Oulujoki.
"Haiishi. Inaendelea na inaendelea," asema Mari Annala, mtaalamu wa ikolojia kutoka Chama cha Finland cha Uhifadhi wa Asili (SLL), akitazama picha za drone za msitu wa zamani kutoka pembezoni.

Kukiwa na vituo 145 vipya vya data katika hatua mbalimbali za upangaji, Finland imejikuta mstari wa mbele katika msukumo wa hivi karibuni wa makampuni ya teknolojia. Pamoja na utulivu wake wa kijiografia na kijiolojia na wingi wa ardhi, hali ya hewa ya baridi hufanya iwe ya kuvutia hasa kwa kuokoa gharama za nishati. Ramani
Mapema mwezi huu, Mamlaka ya Leseni na Usimamizi ya Finland (LVV) iliamuru Google kusimamisha kazi kwa muda huko Muhos na eneo lingine takriban kilomita 100 kusini-mashariki katika kijiji cha Otanmäki baada ya kushindwa kukamilisha tathmini muhimu za athari za kimazingira kabla ya kukata miti yote. Habari hizo zimezua malalamiko makubwa na tafakari ya kitaifa kuhusu jukumu gani, kama lipo, nchi inapaswa kuchukua katika kukimbilia kwa kimataifa kujenga vituo vya data ili kuendana na maendeleo ya haraka ya AI.
Wiki iliyopita, meneja wa nchi wa Google Finland, Antti Järvinen, aliomba msamaha kwa ukataji wa misitu lakini alidai kampuni ilikuwa imetenda "kwa uelewa bora tuliokuwa nao wa sheria wakati huo."
Tazama picha kwa skrini nzima Katika mji wa kaskazini wa Finland wa Muhos, msitu tayari umekatwa kwenye ardhi iliyopatikana na Google, huku wachimbaji sasa wakisafisha ardhi na malori yanayonguruma yakipita huku na huko kwenda eneo la ujenzi lililo karibu na njia kuu za umeme.

Muhos na Otanmäki ni sehemu ya mradi wa miundombinu ya AI wa €13bn wa Google ambao umevutia ukosoaji kutoka kwa Donald Trump, ambaye angependelea vituo hivyo vijengwe Marekani na ametoa wito hadharani kwa kampuni kufikiria upya. Ni mradi mkubwa zaidi kuwahi kutokea wa aina yake katika nchi ya Nordic. Serikali ya Finland, ambayo imesimamia matumizi makubwaKupunguza kumewahimiza uwekezaji. Mwezi uliopita, wakati mipango ya Google ilipotangazwa, waziri mkuu wa nchi, Petteri Orpo, alisema kuvutia uwekezaji ni "kipaumbele cha juu" na "thamani ya uchumi wa data inaenea mbali zaidi ya uwekezaji wa moja kwa moja." Alisema makubaliano ya Google yangeleta "faida za kudumu kwa pande zote mbili." Lakini ufichuzi kuhusu mwenendo mbaya wa Google umezua wasiwasi wa umma kuhusu maana ya makubaliano haya kwa jamii za karibu, bei za nishati kwa kaya za Finland, na mazingira asilia ya Finland—chanzo cha fahari ya kitaifa. Msukumo wa vituo vya data unaweza kuwa suala kuu la uchaguzi wakati Wafini watakapopiga kura Aprili.
Eneo lililokatwa na Google lina urefu wa kilomita 3 na upana wa kilomita 2, jumla ya hekta 330, na mita 400 kutoka Mto Oulujoki. Mbali na miti 250,000 iliyokatwa huko Muhos, Annala anakadiria kuwa miti mingine 150,000 ilikatwa huko Otanmäki. Kwa sababu miti ilikatwa kinyume cha sheria, anasema kuni kutoka maeneo hayo mawili haziwezi kuuzwa kwa viwanda vya kusindika mbao. Hatua hiyo pia imezua maswali kuhusu kwa nini vyanzo vya nishati jadidifu vya Finland vinatumiwa kuendesha mashirika ya kimataifa.
Zaidi ya watu 93,000 wametia sahihi ombi la kudai udhibiti zaidi wa vituo vya data na ada ya kufidia jamii za wenyeji kwa uharibifu wa kimazingira. Tangu kashfa ilipozuka, Orpo ameelezea kile kilichotokea Muhos kama "mvua ya baridi."
Hanna Halmeenpää, mwenyekiti wa bodi ya SLL, alisema hakukuwa na imani alipogundua uvunjaji sheria wa Google. "Mwanzoni sikuweza kuamini," alisema. "Sijawahi kusikia kwamba kampuni yoyote imefanya kitu kama hiki nchini Finland." Alisema mfumo unategemea sana uaminifu, ambao anaamini Google ilitumia kwa manufaa yake. "Walinunua eneo kubwa la ardhi na wakaanza kuikata, kama hivyo tu," alisema. "Ni kiburi cha kijinga na inashangaza."
Kasi ya maendeleo ilishtua nchi, alisema. "Watu wengi wanaangalia tu habari na kuulizana: 'Nini kinaendelea sasa? Tunaweza kufanya nini kuhusu hilo? Na je, tunapaswa kuchukua miradi hii yote ya vituo vya data nchini Finland?'"
Jussi Kangasharju, mkuu wa sayansi ya kompyuta katika Chuo Kikuu cha Helsinki, alisema ingawa vituo vya data huleta idadi ndogo ya ajira na uwezekano wa kukuza uchumi wa ndani, faida kwa ngazi ya kitaifa ni ndogo sana. "Kwa kweli, kwa Finland, hakuna faida," alisema. "Ni makampuni ya kimataifa yanayohudumia wateja wa kimataifa. Kodi ndogo sana ya shirika inaenda Finland. Vituo vya data hatimaye vina faida ndogo sana kwa mtu yeyote isipokuwa
