When operated at full capacity this data centre would use the energy equivalent to over two million homes. Its emissions would exceed the legal limit in Dumfries and Galloway by almost double. This application must be rejected.

STV News. Plans submitted for 'world's largest' data centre at former nuclear power station. The Scottish Greens have warned that the proposal would put a massive straight on Scotland's energy grid.

After a poultry plant shut down in July's heatwave, the UK's meat industry trade body called for processing sites to have "continuous access to water, irrespective of wider pressures on local supplies". When those sites use more water than Brighton, that matters. www.grilled.media/data-meat-in...

Pope Innocent III,who died in 1216, spoke of a certain kind of older man, who is "easily provoked", "will believe anything and question nothing", is "stingy and greedy" and "praises the good old days and hates the present." Reform UK's voter base has been knocking around for a very long time.

Sat for a coffee at Elm Row and counted the traffic for 15 minutes: 343 pedestrians 52 cyclists 2 cars Remind me why we’ve turned this public square into a car park? This is probably the best connected retail location in Scotland - trams, buses, walkable, busy cycle lane. Why ruin it?

Edinburgh, where a six lane road doesn’t have room for active travel, but somehow the bus lane is storing a single car, and more than half the pavement can be used by a business as “permitted development” Criticism handled by gaslighting you to the Lothian Rd Boulevard project, coming around 2045

Cowcaddens Road was a four lane road - it now looks and feels like a street. So many parts of Edinburgh have similar urban dual carriageways that could have the same treatment: making the city safer, greener, quieter and less congested. #StreetsNOTroads

Reminder: Labour spent EXTRA money removing the only bus gate in one of their flagship safety schemes, possibly the UK’s only LTN to be “made permanent” without the defining feature of having a low traffic component. The damage is self inflicted, not Scotgov’s problem.

BBC’s coverage of Reform’s welfare plans is frankly bizarre. Headlines in Ten, leading on some radio networks. Reform are not even the official opposition and the plans have less credibility than Count Binface. Will BBC News do the same for Lib Dem and Greens policy two years out from an election?
