This isn't a 'cow attack' story as such, but interesting/terrifying* nonetheless. After a few paragraphs of eco-wibble, the best bit is at the end:
Power and cooling for data centres has evolved into a major environmental and cost issue for many companies, as more and more data is collected and held. Other green ideas include making use of sustainable energy sources like wind or waves, or locating them in colder places for natural cooling**.
* Delete according to personal prejudices. Those bovines are smarter than they look: once we're all hooked up to cow-power, who's to say that they won't just go on hunger strike and bring the world grinding to a halt?
** UPDATE: Anti Citizen One links to an article of January 2010 titled Iceland Gets Major Data Center Project.

I thought that there weren't going to be any colder places?
I think there could be more to this http://www.theregister.co.uk/2010/05/20/bullet_580_inflated/ than meets the eye. Why would 1500 cows give up their cosy shed?
He who controls the air controls the land.
It's not the 1500 cows that I'm worried about, it's the "unspecified numbers of swine". I mean, I know it takes 650 of them to fill the House of Commons....
AC1, I have updated.
VFTS, true.
VFTS, B, I assume that a few of the evicted cows will hijack the airship and crash it into a packed aeroplane.
Buffalo attack!
