Police arrest 150 to 200 protesters after storming data center

Two activist groups, Geef Tegengas and Fossielvrij, protested against a datacenter's construction due to its high energy consumption. The demonstration escalated when protesters stormed the site, leading to clashes with police. Officers used batons and pepper spray to control the situation, preventing some activists from entering. The police reported that demonstrators forcibly entered the construction area, causing damage and carrying suspected stolen items. The exact energy consumption of datacenters remains unclear, as companies often keep this information confidential, and governments typically do not disclose it either.
