@theslowai: A 600 megawatt datacentre, thirty five metres high and covering more ground than the village it sits beside, has drawn 1,600 objections in Auchtertool in Fife. The MSP who represents the village says he has not seen that level of objection in twenty five years. The developer told the BBC that the anger is misinformation coming mainly from America, then accepted in the same interview that most of the datacentres in Scotland’s planning pipeline will never be built. This week ministers ordered councils to notify them of anything over 50 megawatts. Search your own council’s planning portal for data centre.
