Stop Climate Chaos Scotland (SCCS), which represents several environmental groups, has written to Scotland’s First Minister, John Swinney, demanding that all data center developments be paused 'pending rigorous assessments of their climate impact.'" Other proposed data centers in Scotland include a 300MW campus outside Falkirk and a trio of hyperscale facilities dubbed ‘The Stoics’ that could eventually scale to 1.5GW.
