'Parliament votes to pause hyperscale data centre applications until guidance is in place AND all are to be required to do Environmental Impact Assessments.'
A huge step in the right direction 🙌

If @scotgov gets it's #PrivateJetTax right, it could raise millions for services we desperately need.
The money raised from this tax should be spent on tackling both climate change and poverty, like the emergency insulation programme we’ve recommended 👀

Many people can’t afford to heat or insulate their homes, but the super rich still criss-cross the globe in #privatejets 💰
Scotland needs to stand up for its people and tax this hugely polluting frivolity properly and soon.

Data centres for AI could more than double Scotland's electricity use.
If it’s really Scotland’s Energy, why let big tech use so much of the renewables we need for our homes, our transport, our industry?
We still need a moratorium on hyperscale #datacentres.

If it's Scotland's Energy, prove it!
The people should feel the benefit of Scotland's renewables wealth.
The ScotWind wealth fund should seed fund #communityownership of energy, land, community hubs, pubs and other assets.

#Bus routes are being cut across #Scotland under private ownership.
Scottish Government should
✅ fast-track franchising
so bus services can be
✅ brought back under local public control, with
✅ minimum service guarantees for rural areas

All of Scotland needs a £2 bus fare cap by May 2027. England's will be in place in January!
Many people on lower incomes rely on #buses. Others want to leave the car at home but need encouragement.
This is a no-regrets way to reduce #costofliving & climate impact.

Scotland can speed up the switch to
✅ cleaner heating systems
✅ lower/stable bills
✅ better health
Funding must target those who need it most, so that *everyone* can benefit
