Kind of bummed that this petition against a monstrous AI data center has not yet broken 6,000 signatures.
“One of the world’s largest AI data centres is being planned next to Auchtertool village in Fife, Scotland. The height of six double decker buses and length of 100 football pitches. An estimated 20% of Scotland’s energy will be consumed by this.”

@bodhipaksa@mastodon.scot given the lack of viable energy sources for this other proposed "AI" data centre in Lanarkshire, what are the odds that this one in Fife is also vapourware? https://www.theguardian.com/technology/2026/jul/06/lanarkshire-scotland-ai-datacentre-project-renewable-energy We can but hope that someone will check.
