Thousands marched in Edinburgh against large-scale AI data centres, part of a wave of European protests. Opponents cite noise, power demand and community impact around projects in Cockenzie, Larbert and Chapelcross; Scotland's government is about to publish new planning guidance. The poster argues for demanding green data centres rather than a moratorium.
