@atptour @ATPHalle Getting excited as got tickets for centre court this year! 🎾

@JamesMelville I’m in the London area and have been wearing my winter pjs that had been put away for the summer.. 🥶

Seriously - what is it with this weather? 🤦🏻‍♀️ I’ve got my winter PJs out of summer storage 🥶…

The Labour government have proved that their net zero policies are gigantic piss take. They tell us plebs to turn off our lights, reduce eating red meat and dairy and also slap carbon taxes on us, yet they are ramming through hundreds of massive data centres that hoover up energy and water - which risk higher energy bills and jeopardise energy and water security.

▪️These gigantic hyperscale data centres that consume as much electricity in 24 hours as roughly 89 average streets use over an entire year.

▪️The UK now hosts more than 500 active data centres (the third largest in the world). They have been rammed through despite huge local community concerns about the impact on their local landscapes and energy and water consumption.

▪️These enormous data centres are giant industrial facilities consuming vast quantities of electricity, water and land while placing increasing pressure on the UK’s energy infrastructure.

▪️Water consumption by data centres is expected to reach 9.3 trillion litres, while CO2 emissions will rise to 399 million tons.

▪️Annual power consumption from data centres is projected to double to 945 TWh by 2030, around ‌the ⁠same as the whole of Japan’s energy consumption, with AI accounting for 40% of the total.

▪️It is estimated that data-centre power and water consumption could double by 2030 due to AI growth.

▪️Emerging research suggests large AI facilities can create localised warming effects around their sites, sometimes described as a “data heat island” effect.

Net zero for us, but not for the tech giants. Power taken from us to power Big Tech data centres.

@Wimbledon And of course so is the rain ☔️ 🌧️ 🎾

@ThatEricAlper I worked backstage security for 15 years and I must say that some big music stars have dubious timekeeping habits 🤦🏻‍♀️

[Furkan Gözükara @FurkanGozukara]

🚨 WOW! Erin Brockovich completely destroys the AI data center narrative. She confirms these massive facilities emit a non-stop, 24/7 deafening noise that is literally driving local residents crazy!

She exposes the total lack of environmental oversight. Pure corruption!

@ThatEricAlper Omg there are so many but let’s start with 505 by Arctic Monkeys 😍

They told you the planet is dying… and you’re the problem.

Your food.
Your habits.
Your existence.

Meanwhile, behind closed doors, something else is growing.

AI data centres in the UK alone could pump out 123 million tonnes of carbon emissions — the equivalent of millions of human lives over a decade.

But where’s the outrage?

Instead, they blame cows… tax farmers… and squeeze the people who actually feed you.

While tech giants expand quietly… signing deals… building systems that never sleep… and never get questioned.

Different rules.
Different targets.
Same script.

So let me ask you…

Why are everyday people being punished…
while the biggest emitters keep getting rewarded?
Is this really about saving the planet…
or controlling who pays the price?
Drop your thoughts below — I want to hear what you think.

And if this made you stop and think for even a second… share it.

More people need to see this.

The proposed ‘monster’ AI data centre near Auchtertool in Fife would be as tall as eight double decker buses and cover 100 football pitches.

The energy used by this data centre equates to around 20% of Scotland’s entire national energy consumption.

While we get threatened with hosepipe bans whenever there’s a week of sunshine, it is estimated that Al data centres will consume water equal to the needs of 1.3 billion people by 2030.

Club music rarely translated this well to television. Performed on Later... with Jools Holland in 1997, “Insomnia” showcased the track that helped turn Faithless into one of the defining dance acts of the decade. Later included on the album Reverence, its mix of driving beats and Maxi Jazz’s spoken word delivery made it a global anthem.

FACTS! 👇👇👇

[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]

The residents of Auchtertool in Fife are taking a stand against a monster AI data centre that is being proposed to be situated right next to their scenic village.

The proposed data centre is one of the biggest in the world - bigger than their village. And it’s estimated that the 600MW energy consumption with be 20% of Scotland entire energy consumption. It’s also being situated on beautiful countryside. Fife Council haven’t published an environmental impact report.

This campaign to stop this AI data centre monstrosity in Fife is now receiving huge amounts of media and social media coverage. For once, people power can defeat tech corporations power if this campaign continues to be amplified.

'This is a big issue. Not just for Auchtertool, not just for Fife, not just for Scotland but for the world and we have to make a stand'.
