Government slammed for failure on hyperscale data centre emissions
The Scottish Government faces urgent calls to address "major shortcomings" in its data centre policy, as Action to Protect Rural Scotland (APRS) alleges a critical failure to account for the emissions of hyperscale AI facilities in assessments of "green data centres" and their contribution to climate targets.
Kat Jones, director of APRS, branded the situation "pretty shocking". The government’s NPF4 national planning framework states that "green data centres" will have an "overall negligible impact" on Scotland’s emissions reduction goals.
A chap is bound to wonder what a "green data centre" might look like within the strange, mysterious and eerily mystical minds of Green folk.

Are "hyperscale AI facilities" by any chance related to big AI centres?
It turns out that Mr handy man rub is a good deal less plebeian than he wants you to think. Did you ever? Is he Sturmer Mark II?

dearieme - I'm not sure, big AI data centres could be megascale, really big ones could be hyperscale, but that doesn't leave room for ultrascale or humongouscale.
Oh dear, good old Daily Mail, so Andy has no mills, mines or muck in his comfy past.
