The proposals at Chapelcross will make it the largest data centre in the world. At its peak, it could be consuming the same amount of electricity as more than 2 million homes.

Chapelcross cannot be built. The Government and Dumfries & Galloway Council must reject it.

Stick up for the dingy skipper butterfly. Sign the petition to oppose the monstrous 1GW Chapelcross data centre. Chapelcross is one of the biggest hyperscale data centres planned in the UK.

Chapelcross: Can an old nuclear power plant have a green future?
It is 70 years since work started on the Chapelcross site which now hopes to become a green energy hub.

Garbage headline from the BBC - this AI data centre is actually planned in greenfield land just next to the old nuclear site, in Scotland.
And it’s a 1000MW capacity- bigger than any in the world right now.

This is the area where I live - excuse me while I lodge my planning objection. 😡🤬

Pity the power station isn't still running, really.

If you see this post, post a vampire that isn't Dracula.

I introduce the vampire that is AI...

This is a planned 1000MW datacentre, that will drain the energy that would have powered 2.2 million homes - an energy vampire in a climate emergency.

19 years ago today...

On this day (20th May) in 2007 Chapelcross' iconic cooling towers were demolished & thousands of people gathered to witness the event.

The decision was made to close Chapelcross in 2004. As part of the decommissioning process, the cooling towers were demolished.

I see there’s one planned at Chapelcross, I’m guessing not on the site that won’t be fully decommissioned until 2085!
These really are a blot on our landscape and extremely bad for the environment!
