Rejected petition: Help protect Scotlands Resources by stopping the development of AI Data Centres
Rejected on
This petition is to stop the over consumption of Scotlands Natural resources and protect our environment and communities for our future generations.
The build of AI Data centres in places like Georgia, USA, have proven that data centres have a great cost.
Due to its massive amount of data storage, centres will consume at estimate 1.7 trillion gallons of water globally by 2027, just to cool down servers.
Scotland strives off of our landscapes and beautiful scenery to bring in tourists to help our economy survive.
These centres will also leave our water contaminated and undrinkable, which would be a great loss.
