The #ScottishGreens are doing a campaign to prevent the buildout of new hyperscaler #DataCentres in #Scotland. There are 24 new sites proposed in Scotland, potentially adding up to 6000MW of power.
For comparison: This level of power, if run continuously for a year, would result in 52.6TWh of energy consumption, which rival Google's consumption in 2025 (https://ketanjoshi.co/2026/07/01/googles-exponential-path-to-climate-wrecking-digital-bloat/)
I highly recommend supporting the campaign, you can do so at https://greens.scot/datacentres
