this petition is important - the data centre proposed in Longformacus is in totally the wrong location - please sign and share.

Tesla was granted a US patent last week for a "Lens Cleaning System" that pairs a fluid dispenser with a compact wiper blade curved to fit a spherical camera lens.
It monitors image quality in real time and wipes when it detects dirt, water, mud, or snow degrading the feed.
Youโve just purchased a new electric vehicle? Congratulations โ you are now the proud owner of a surveillance machine on wheels, in which all the sensors are pointing directly at you

So reference to renewables here could be a (albeit invisible!) smokescreen and we need to know minima, maxima, and mean predictions for CO2, NOx etc emissions from this proposal.
The proximity to renewables (a familiar trope for data centres: https://t.co/yC2Oitjwr2) for this project assumes their availability (as the grid improves, curtailment will inevitably reduce).
3/ the reality is this data centre plan for Longformacus is totally unsuitable for this location , extraordinarily large industrial development in totally the wrong place.
Meetings for the data centre take place in early June - I will be attending and making my views known.
There is passing reference on their website (https://t.co/DoK3lO8goT) of proximity to a gas supply, but other DCs (like Stargate) rely heavily on fossil fuel generation, with all the related exhaust pollutants that entails.
Hmmm. Their 'comparatively low temperatures' don't allow for global warming (to which they will be contributing). Duns now is pretty comparable to Bristol in the 1970s (been there, done it, tick). https://t.co/T3AoPcwsar
@DavidHeadViews@KevinASchofield Pretty sure a list could be made up for him, to include the Horst-Wessel-Lied and the Russian national anthem. Maybe Abba with Money, Money, Money and I suspect we could guess his Lieblingsbuch....
And yet the cost of wind and solar has not gone up, only that of gas (and the immoral profits of the oil giants). #breakthelink https://t.co/hHh8vOzjLG
The more renewable electricity we put in the dearer our bills become. Itโs not just higher gas prices causing trouble. Yesterday with a surge in solar power we still needed to import and to burn more gas as there was so little wind. Solar of course shut down in the evening.
Robert received an invite to Rome this past weekend to see something very special... a preview of the new Ferrari Luce! With a high-speed entourage, hundreds of journos, and the reveal itself, discover what Robert's thoughts on it in our latest blog ๐ https://t.co/eSrzMTvhWf
