Labour rejects call to halt AI datacentre building
The UK government has rejected Labour and Green party calls to pause the construction of AI datacentres, citing concerns over economic and national security impacts. Green leader Zack Polanski proposed a moratorium on energy- and water-intensive datacentres amid drought conditions and rising energy use, but the government emphasized the importance of datacentres for the economy and national security. Critics warn that without stricter regulation, datacentres may worsen environmental issues, while the government advocates for responsible development with sustainable practices.
