Drax datacentre could create nearly twice the yearly emissions of all Gatwick flights

Calling wood “renewable” doesn’t make the CO2 released when it’s burned disappear. If forests take decades or more to recover that carbon, how should we count those emissions?

Hasn't it just! I did a butterfly survey at Lauriston Farm, not many butterflies but lovely to see a pair of Stonechats & a large flock of Goldfinches. I'm enjoying Gillian Clarke's poetry book, thanks for lending it to me. I'm using one of the poems in a forthcoming class on writing about weather.

There aren't many days when you can kayak off Start Point, renowned for one of Britain's most dangerous tidal races. But yesterday the stars aligned, so I bunked off work. Delighted to see Rupert Kirkwood (the Lone Kayaker) out there. He took this picture of me +1. Before you ask: yes, it's real. 🧵

The weather was perfect yesterday for an autumnal walk along Edinburgh's Water of Leith, more on my blog craftygreenpoet.blogspot.com/2026/10/wate...

The proposals at Chapelcross will make it the largest data centre in the world. At its peak, it could be consuming the same amount of electricity as more than 2 million homes.

Chapelcross cannot be built. The Government and Dumfries & Galloway Council must reject it.
