Second largest data center in the world proposed in Fife?!
on Sept 4, hundreds gathered in Edinburgh, Scotland, to protest a planned data centre in Auchtertool, Fife, which would be the second largest in the world. In a campaign led by the NGO Action to Protect Rural Scotland, protestors called for a pause in development until the Scottish government produces analysis on the centre’s environmental impacts and clear planning criteria for what counts as a green datacentre.
