can't wait for Scotland's loadshedding era
One single data centre. The combined energy draw of both of our largest cities.
Utterly unreasonable that this could be signed off without an environmental check. What about the impact on our energy prices?
The investors should have to fund the clean energy needed.

3. SOLAR IS BETTER
Strong evidence it has:
- Eased chronic daytime loadshedding, enabling more secure electricity even for those without solar.
- Avoiding fossil fuel imports, and the currency depreciation that comes with that.
- Saved transmission and distribution losses
- Saved CO2 and pollution

One of the most annoying things with games where you can only manually save is how if there's a power outage or loadshedding all your progress goes out the window, not that it's the game's fault or anything it's just annoying

Today there was a major fault here — no power for 4–5 hours. Sitting by the window, watching the rain, I was carried back to my childhood when loadshedding was almost a daily ritual.
