Nobody wants to live next to one. The pollution will be phenomenal. I can't imagine a site anywhere in Scotland where they will be welcomed. An uninhabited island perhaps? Stroma, yeah, off to Stroma please.

All data centres need to be relocated to islands:
Specifically the islands that are at current sea levels and are threatened by climate change-caused coastal erosion

There are places in the far north that are ideal for datacentres - abundance of renewable energy, water, fibre links etc. Instead the hyperscalers are determined to wind everyone up by building in the most stupid places and the most environmentally damaging ways. The whole situation is just batshit.
