The UK’s policy on datacentres and AI was developed without any meetings with environmental groups, an investigation has found.
The nonprofit organisation Spotlight on Corruption said a “considerable revolving door” shaped the government’s development of “AI growth zones”, a central plank of the former prime minister Keir Starmer’s AI and economic policy, with 38 ministers, senior civil servants and special advisers hired to positions in AI companies between July 2024 and September 2026.

This is about the datacentres Anthropic is building in the US, not the one in NS, but it’s an interesting read.
NEW: buried in anthropic's hefty ipo documents released yesterday is an interesting admission: the company's increasing reliance on dirty gas to power its data centers is actually exposing it to financial risk

Anthropic Flags Gas Supply as One of Its Biggest Near-Term Risks
The data center buildout could cause a massive increase in gas prices as companies scramble for limited supplies and infrastructure fails to meet demand.

I like passenger rail and don't like big datacentres, but rail needs a long continuous right of way where it may already be occupied, and datacentres are one big lot.

If this has been suggested in the budget it is another attack on the environment and local communities, #datacentres should not be given approval let alone fast tracked.
A British Data Center Covenant for sovereignty compliance; compliant data centers will be able to get fast track access to grid connections and be able to use local power generation to get up and going.
