Stop data centres draining our precious resources
Add my name Data centres are springing up all over the UK – using massive amounts of electricity and, in many cases, huge amounts of water. The UK is already facing water shortages, high energy demand, a housing crisis and a climate crisis. Meanwhile, data centres are sucking up the resources we all rely on. They’re competing with new homes for electricity, draining scarce water supplies and making heat and air pollution worse in communities already facing brutal heatwaves and poor air quality.
