See š§µāļø The maximum fine that can be handed down for getting rich by pouring shit into rivers is Ā£20,000. Last year, in occupied Northern Ireland, there were more than 4,000 spills, but just 63 fines. Just six of those fines were over Ā£5,000 - most were closer to Ā£200.

How much water do Britain's data centres use? Bafflingly, there is no official figure. So here's my best estimate after weeks of reporting: circa 10 billion litres of water a year. And that's before any big UK AI boom. Story in
