“Officials have admitted Britain’s data centre boom could draw 40% more electricity than thought a few months ago, a surge that could push up energy bills.

The Labour government’s AI revolution has prompted more than a hundred data centres to seek grid connections for a massive 50 gigawatts (GW) of electricity capacity in total. It is more than the whole of Britain’s peak demand on a typical day.

However, figures from Ed Miliband’s Department for Energy Security and Net Zero suggest the true figure could be as high as 70GW.”

Do not say the struggle is achieving nothing. In these times, worth remembering this famous poem (from Poetry Foundation site.) "Fears may be liars."

[No Farmers, No Food @NoFarmsNoFoods]

Governments tell us to cut eating red meat to ‘save the planet’ while they ram through hundreds of massive data centres that consume vast amounts of energy and water…

[James Melville 🚜 @JamesMelville]

Packed village hall meeting in the Fife village of Auchtertool to discuss the proposed massive 600MW AI data centre right next to the village and on scenic farmland - that is estimated to consume so much energy - equivalent to half of Scotland’s entire energy consumption. No environmental impact assessment has been provided by Fife Council. This must be stopped, No one voted for this.

I confidently predict providing Palantir with a detailed list of everyone in the UK who owns a firearm will cause no problems whatsoever.

[James Melville 🚜 @JamesMelville]

The map of uk data centres. 529 of them and hundreds more at planning and consultation stage. These data centres consume huge amounts of water and energy. Net zero for us. But not for them.

Let me categorically Debunk this utter rot. @sainsburys.

I am a poultry Breeder. The hens that lay white eggs (Amberline/White Star) DO NOT have a lower carbon footprint.

Yes they eat a bit less and produce roughly the same amount of eggs as the Brown egg layers (Bovan/Lowman/ISA Brown) but they live shorter lives, are prone to dying suddenly when startled, a flighty and nervous and because they live shorter productive lives (12 -18mnths) vs brown 18/24mnths (both commercial farmed), you have to incubate more which is increased (Electricity/gas costs) and their eggs are not the same quality.

I breed and keep 20+ different breeds, including: ISA Brown hens and White Stars. All my hens are 100% free range, Not a single barn kept bird, I have ISA browns that are 5yrs old and still laying beautiful Brown eggs, I have not seen a White star live beyond 3yrs and certainly none have laid eggs past 18-24mnths.
White stars Lay themselves to death. They are slender birds and because they dont eat a lot, it drains their personal vitality to keep up laying the eggs you want to sell because of the nonsensical lie that they are "More Carbon Neutral"

You want to know about eggs, come talk to someone like me, Don't rely on some hairbrained imagination of a buyer who's trying to squeeze the profit margin for a few extra pennies at our expense and to the poor hens detriment.

Albanians just showed the world how it's done.

The government was selling off prime coastal land and protected islands to Jared Kushner and linked investors for a massive luxury resort turning public beaches and nature reserves into private playgrounds for the ultra-rich. The people said: HELL NO. Thousands poured into the streets under “Albania Is Not For Sale.” Protests turned fiery. They stormed government buildings and burnt down the Prime Minister’s house. This isn’t just about a deal. It’s about sovereignty. It’s about refusing to let your country be auctioned off to foreign billionaires while locals lose access to their own coastline. When elites sell the nation’s future for kickbacks and luxury resorts, the people have every right to push back hard. Respect to the Albanians for refusing to be colonized by cash. Other countries should be taking notes.

So while we are getting threatened with hosepipe bans, these monstrosities guzzle massive amounts of water supply.

[Jen Wood - est optimum simpliciter @unojen_wood]

Wow:
A striking 84% of proposed UK data centres are being built in regions already officially classified by the Environment Agency as "seriously water-stressed.
These centres have to be stopped.

[Venessa MacLeod @NessaMacLeod]

If you like not dying of thirst, it’s time to get organised.

There’s proposed data AI centres all over Scotland. Water is an essential necessity for all human life and the natural resources these things burn through is ridiculous. Reject these monstrosities!

[Community Spirit @TakeOneVoice]

And when you hear the noise they emit continuously, it's another reason to reject them everywhere.

[James Melville 🚜 @JamesMelville]

It has been calculated that the proposed 600MW 'hyperscale' AI data centre in Fife would use the energy of more than 50% of Scotland's households. No one voted for this monstrosity.

[James Melville 🚜 @JamesMelville]

Fife residents & conservationists are campaigning to prevent plans for a giant AI data centre in rural Fife. It’s one of the world’s biggest AI data centres. It has been calculated that it would use the energy of more than 50% of Scotland's households. No one voted for this.

[Jeff Hamilton @jeffkhamilton]

Lesson 2: For us men, practice hyper-self-awareness. Be deeply mindful of how you interact with women. Not because you’re a bad guy, but because you're a good one. Too many have made women feel fear every single time a stranger approaches them. That's the great imbalance. 8/10

For water companies to warn that “customers will be cut off as reservoirs run dry” is a disgrace.

💧Water companies in England and Wales lose 3 billion litres of water every day from leaking pipes.

💧Water companies have sold off dozens of reservoirs to housing developers, while no new ones have been built in the last 30 years.

💧 AI data centres guzzle 5 million gallons of water per day.

Yet another example of a basic essential service that has been wilfully neglected and diminished because of corporation greed, negligence and cost cutting.

[Anon🇬🇧Restore Britain🇬🇧 @Anon7127]

A large data center consumes anywhere from 100 million to 1.8 billion gallons of water a year, depending on its size and cooling methods. This is primarily driven by evaporative cooling towers and equates to the water use of a small to mid-sized town of 10,000 to 50,000 people.

[J.K. Rowling @jk_rowling]

I’ve lost count of the messages I’ve had from detransitioners, mostly girls, detailing outcomes just as bad and sometimes worse. A high proportion are abuse survivors and/or have a history of poor mental health. Now they struggle with physical issues impossible to resolve.
