Nine-year-old aspiring farmer tells council to fight back against AI data centre proposal farmersguardian.com/4538571/ via @farmersguardian

This is the greenwash playbook: promise 1GW of renewables, get the consent and the headlines, quietly retreat to 'grid served' once nobody's checking. Planning conditions need teeth.

Residents 'deeply concerned' by the sheer scale of proposal of huge solar farm in Northamptonshire described as 'national disgrace' trib.al/x1V2mpf

Great to see so many people joining the days of action across Europe against data centres.
I've put down a motion in Parliament for a national moratorium on new AI data centres and for the Government to work with communities to fully assess their environmental and local impacts.

Good Afternoon dear friends and followers, pleas take a few minutes to watch this heartbreaking video.
It shows the proposed DESTRUCTION OF A VILLAGE local to me by Net Zero.
I have no words 😭
If you can donate to the Fund please do however little is one step forward.
🙏🏻
One small Suffolk village. Now a mega hub for energy infrastructure: 2 lines of 400kv pylons, 2 more proposed; substations; converter station; batteries; solar. All exposed in the event of hostile action, but no-one is listening:

This is NOT a game Scotland needs to play. Listen to this. The size of these monstrosities (23 of them!), the noise, the power consumption, the water consumption, the nature destruction.
We do NOT need to have them here.
New documents released by the Scottish government under a freedom of information request show that data centres could cause water shortages, higher energy bills and power cuts.

A petition with almost 55,000 signatures was handed into Google’s flagship London office this week, calling for the withdrawal of their controversial data centre plans for an Essex Local Wildlife Site. The Thurrock Data Centre plans make a mockery of Google’s sustainability claims. buglife.org.uk/news/more-tha…

Wow! I hadn't heard of the project in Norfolk. I used to live not far from that proposed data centre. I know the area, and I know the UK can't feed itself as it is, so why the F*CK would they destroy 4,695 acres of prime arable farmland for a data centre? It is utter madness.

Fury in tiny rural Norfolk village which faces being 'blighted forever' by huge data centre and solar farm bigger than Heathrow trib.al/weSRomw

There are plans being submitted to build the largest data centre in the UK on rural land next to a nature reserve in Norfolk.
We can t allow our countryside to be stolen in this way. We need data centres, but this application is wrong on every level.

💧Hosepipe bans for us.
💧Water guzzling for the data centres.
Data centres consume roughly 30 million litres of water daily in the UK. A figure that will significantly rise with the rapid expansion plans for AI data centres.

Er … hidden away in today’s Budget is a new Data Centre Covenant.
taxpayers will fund over £700 MILLION in AI initiatives and the government is introducing special treatment for strategically important AI data centres.
They will receive PRIORITY access to electricity capacity, faster connections and faster planning decisions.
A new Quango … the Ministerial Control Centre will push these projects through.
So with energy in short supply and prices linked to supply … ordinary citizens er … are not priority!
Better stock up on brand and loo roll. Just like they told you.

I'm deeply concerned about the environmental impact of hyperscale AI data centres, including here in Leeds.
In September, I tabled a parliamentary motion for a national moratorium on them.
I've now also written to Leeds City Council formally requesting an immediate pause in the planning process for the proposed AI Data Centre at Skelton Grange.

🔴PROTECT BRITAIN'S COUNTRYSIDE OVER CONCRETE #DATA CENTRES
Across the UK, prime agricultural land and green spaces are increasingly being swallowed up by massive data centres and industrial developments. While technology moves forward, we cannot sacrifice our natural environment, clean water, and the very farmland that feeds our nation.
No data centre on Earth is worth the loss of bees, water, and trees.
Do you agree that our prime farmland and countryside should be protected from industrial development?
