Contributing sentiments towards policy:

59% : "AI compute is foundational to that goal - we continue to explore Stargate UK and will move forward when the right conditions such as regulation and the cost of energy enable long-term infrastructure investment.
43% : The International Monetary Fund (IMF) said in March that the UK was one of the nations particularly exposed to soaring wholesale costs because of its reliance on gas-fired power, as opposed to sources such as nuclear and renewable energy. Data centres are powered by very large amounts of energy so are more likely to be exposed to volatile prices.
35% : " The reference to energy costs come at a time when prices are being pushed higher by the US and Israel's war with Iran.
