Canolfan Ddata Menai, an AI data centre on Wales' Menai Strait, will demolish an old factory if built. Its roof is home to 2% of Wales' herring gull breeding population. Wildlife bodies have already objected. Now it's your turn. Read more: protectthewild.substack.com/p/a-welsh-ai...

Ireland is already using around a quarter of its electricity on data centres, while households face some of the highest energy costs in Europe. Now Big Tech wants even more. We shouldn’t be building our energy system around the needs of multinational tech corporations while ordinary people struggle.

Tomorrow October the 14th , the government is rolling out the red carpet for Big Tech at its International AI Summit in Dublin. They’ll talk about innovation and competitiveness. Our energy and water should serve people, not Big Tech profits. ✊ Join us on 14 October - 11am - RDS

If it goes ahead, Canolfan Ddata Menai would build over 13 hectares of Plas Brereton, a designated Local Wildlife Site. Neither the developer nor the council have conducted a wildlife survey for nearly 20 years, so we don't exactly know who lives there. But they still want to bulldoze it.

If the government allows lower-volume fracking to occur, it opens the possibility of fracking far beyond the few existing test sites. Below is a British Geological Survey map of parts of the UK with fracking potential: nora.nerc.ac.uk/id/eprint/51...
