DataVita has revised plan for Chapelhall development to be wholly powered by 1GW of renewable energy A datacentre company that said it would power a massive AI development near Glasgow with renewable energy has admitted that the scheme will be entirely served by the National Grid. DataVita, a key plank of the UK’s AI strategy, had promised that the Lanarkshire project would draw 1GW – the equivalent output of a small nuclear reactor, or Britain’s largest windfarm – from green sources. But when the Guardian raised questions about the pledge, it said the arrangement was “subject to final commercial agreements, planning, grid and consenting processes”. Continue reading...

According to CNBC there were 41 data centre related ballot measures on dockets across 10 different states in the US mid terms.

The people voted against data centres on 40 of them.

The sentiment among voters would be similar in Aus, yet the govt is still pushing these things on communities.

“The action comes amid Europe-wide resistance to the rapid expansion of energy-hungry AI, with more than 100 groups involved in a two-day series of protests to demand moratoria on the construction of new datacentres”

Solar is set to overtake generation capacity of all other power sources by 2027.
In three years, it will overtake gas.
In four years, it will push past coal.
And it's creating jobs as it does it.

We have the solutions. Implement them. #ActOnClimate

This Scottish data centre will draw 1GW of electricity from the grid - as much as the UK's largest wind farm produces. To add insult to injury, it received over £200million of public money. Stop this is madness now before it does any more damage to Scotland.
