'With all that we have to offer the world, why are we investing in data centres?' Recent months have seen Outlander star Sam Heughan emerge as one of the key voices in the anti data centre movement, backing calls for a moratorium on new hyperscale data centre applications and getting behind the campaign against the Say No To Larbert Data Centre campaign. He told The Herald: “As a Scotsman, and someone very proud of what we've got here, and the tourism I've seen that we've built around Outlander. I just think that we need to protect the reason that people are coming here. "They're coming here to see this amazing countryside and this land that we've got with a great history. And we have so much to offer. I just don't know why, we're putting our time energy into something that's poisonous. “On my hikes across Scotland I’ve seen remote wild spaces. I've been the only person I've seen for a number of days. And I've seen so much wildlife. It's incredible what we have here in Scotland And I honestly would question the Scottish Government say, why are we investing in that? With all that we have to offer the world, why are we investing in data centres?” 👇 𝘐𝘔𝘈𝘎𝘌: 𝘋𝘢𝘷𝘪𝘥 𝘗𝘢𝘳𝘳𝘺 𝘔𝘦𝘥𝘪𝘢 𝘈𝘴𝘴𝘪𝘨𝘯𝘮𝘦𝘯𝘵𝘴/𝘗𝘈 𝘞𝘪𝘳𝘦/𝘗𝘈 𝘐𝘮𝘢𝘨𝘦𝘴
