The proposals at Chapelcross will make it the largest data centre in the world. At its peak, it could be consuming the same amount of electricity as more than 2 million homes. Chapelcross cannot be built. The Government and Dumfries & Galloway Council must reject it. @scottishgreens.org
A graphic that reads “reject chapelcross data centre” “the world’s largest data centre must not be built in Scotland”. Below the text is the Scottish greens logo.

However well-meaning, the King rolling out the red carpet for AI bosses while communities fight to be heard exposes a deeply unequal system ❌👑 Scotland’s resources belong to its people, not tech billionaires. Stop hyperscale AI data centres, and abolish the monarchy! @scottishgreens.org

Tackling misogyny means changing the culture that enables it. We need a misogyny bill, alongside education on consent and healthy relationships in every school, to help prevent violence against women and girls.

A £2 bus fare cap is coming, but for South Scotland it could be too little, too late. The Scottish Greens want better buses and free bus travel for everyone 🚌

Reform are accusing me & the @scottishgreens.org of being a 'danger to national security'. That's the same Reform whose former Welsh leader is doing 10yrs in prison for taking Russian bribes to parrot their propaganda. I'm proud to have been sanctioned for the Kremlin while others shilled for it.

Banks are raking in billions while the communities around them suffer cuts and underfunded public services. Not long ago tax payers had to stump up tens of billions to bail out irresponsible banks. It’s time for the super-rich and the biggest businesses to pay their fair share.

On the Channel 4 debate this evening, it's very clear that there Greens are the ones that are going to be the ones cutting bills and tackling the climate crisis. The unionists 'drill baby drill' strategy will keep bills high, hurt energy security, cause economic instability and harm climate

It also won't address the sharply rising costs of our inaction on the climate and nature emergencies. Some analysts say this could cost 12% of global GDP as soon as the end of this Parliament.

This is a huge backwards step. Deepening our reliance on dirty, expensive fossil fuels would be devastating for our climate and lock us further into wildly fluctuating prices. It would do nothing to lower our bills. The only winners would be the wealthy polluters.
The Times. John Swinney reverses SNP position on oil and gas drilling. While he emphasised that he still supported climate compatibility assessments, he accepted these would probably be a formality.

Glasgow nominations for the Holyrood election are out. The far-right Independent Green Voice is back. In 2021, this fake party, led by a Holocaust denier thrown out of UKIP, probably cost the Scottish Greens two MSPs.

As fossil fuel prices soar, it’s time for us to seize the huge opportunities we have on our doorstep. Green energy is the cleanest and cheapest energy available. With the right investment we can lower bills, cut emissions, and create thousands of long-term, well paid jobs.
Scottish Greens will deliver £600m investment in renewable energy. With more green energy we can bring down bills and protect our planet. On May 7th vote Scottish Greens.
