Shouldn't even be a debate. #NoToAIDataCentres 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 If approved, the Chapelcross development in Dumfries and Galloway would be the largest data centre campus in the world, with a capacity of 1000MW. The data centre campus would use seven million MWh of energy a year at full capacity, which campaigners say would be enough to power two million homes in Scotland.
