A gut-punch of a statistic, reflective of what's happening throughout the entire natural world.

But using the word "stocks" to describe a wild population of one of Earth's most breathtaking, magical species indicates precisely why we've reached such a predicament.

This new report blows the government propaganda on data centres out of the water.

We could have built 50,000 homes instead of data centres - but the government has prioritised Big Tech.
Government report on data centres was 'flawed' and 'exaggerated', new research claims
The study also suggests that nearly 50,000 homes could have been built if the resources in the data centre build-out were directed elsewhere.

They're using a quarter of our electricity while paying half the price that households are paying.
