    Excerpt · Critical tone · English

    Read excerpt

    Scotland's waste sector is on the verge of a crisis which could see rubbish piling up on the streets, experts have warned. They say the combination of significantly reduced landfill space and a breakdown of Glasgow's main incinerator have created a "perfect storm" which could see waste left uncollected. Industry representatives are due to meet ministers to discuss their concerns but say there's no obvious short-term solution to avoid the crisis. The Scottish government said was working with stak

    MSPs asked to pause Scotland's AI data centre boom (opens the original)

    Excerpt · English

    Read excerpt

    Scotland has a new boom industry, at least if planning applications are taken at face value. The term "hyperscale data centre", rarely heard a few years ago, is now dividing opinion across the country as a rush of applications are made to build them.

Offshore Energies UK (OEUK) said changes to the windfall tax on energy firms and approval of the controversial Rosebank and Jackdaw fields could unlock 111 projects, attracting investment worth £50bn.

    Fires still burn in charred landscape as focus turns to wildfire prevention (opens the original)

    Excerpt · English

    Read excerpt

    As we're driving in a pickup truck to see the aftermath of a huge fire which burnt for more than a month in the Cairngorms, I spot fresh smoke coming from the ground. My guide - RSPB Scotland's site manager at the Abernethy nature reserve, Ben Oliver-Jones - puts the vehicle in reverse and we jump out to see what's happening.
