I made a tally of the total planned AI data centre capacity in Scotland and I am a bit shocked: it amounts to 7.3 GW, which is as much as the entire energy consumption of Scotland, electricity + gas in 2023.
To spend as much energy on "AI" as the entire need of a country is madness. And I have no doubt that this picture would scale if I did it for the entire UK etc.
Make it phiscally impossible to.continue?
Put bodies on the line?
Act proudly like citizens in a democracy?
Just one of the dozens of new improvements you have to look forward to now that the UK is getting in on all the "innovation". Others benefits to innovation are mass polluting generators that don't have to follow environmental regulations, noise pollution, light pollution, and absolutely no say in any of it. But just think of all the fun videos you can make now...
