홍성, ‘전기·물 먹는 하마’ 데이터센터 감당할 수 있나
[Korea Agricultural Policy Newspaper, Reporter Kim Joo-young] Controversy is arising over the feasibility of the project as estimates suggest that the artificial intelligence (AI) data center that Hongseong County, South Chungcheong Province, is seeking to attract could consume more than half of the region's total electricity consumption. Critics point out that even with a 600 billion won investment, new jobs are projected to be limited to just 50, raising concerns that the burden may outweigh the benefits for the region. On the 26th, the Yesan-Hongseong Federation for Environmental Movement and the Public Interest Law Center Nongbon held a press conference at the Naepo Urban Advanced Industrial Complex, urging Hongseong County to halt the bid for the AI data center and conduct a comprehensive review. Hongseong County signed an investment agreement with Optimus CDC Co., Ltd. on the 10th of last month and [located] at the Naepo Urban Advanced Industrial Complex

The adage that "a good start is half the battle" did not apply to obtaining a Class 1 license for ultralight aircraft unmanned multicopters (drones). I was full of enthusiasm when I registered at Musung Aviation Academy in Pyeongtaek, Gyeonggi Province, a specialized training institution, and even paid the tuition. However, the moment I checked the training schedule I was handed, I felt overwhelmed. To receive a Class 1 license, one must complete a total of 60 hours of training, consisting of 20 hours each for classroom instruction, simulated flight, and practical training.
