Not sure what the faux outrage here would be, Sweden is pretty cool so should use less power. And if it's nuclear then that's pretty clean.
Technically it's a interesting and exciting infrastructure project though!

Proponents claim that we've created a new base industry with new jobs. In parts of Sweden there is good access to clean power and the cool climate makes these centers relatively energy efficient.
Opponents claim that, excluding the temporary build phase, very few jobs are created. Since power isn't limitless and these centers use a lot there is now no space left for other industries that create a magnitude more jobs per MWh. These centers also pay low taxes on the electricity so their overall contribution to society is minuscule compared to the resources they consume.
