Summary
A petition by Nova Scotia resident Kevin Fifield calls for a halt to a proposed AI data centre near Port Hawkesbury, citing concerns about the environment, the power grid and the community. The facility is to be owned by Halifax-based EverWind Fuels and leased by Anthropic to run its Claude AI service. The petition had 11,800 signatures, 12,142 shares and 174 comments in the supplied account; the companies say they will pay for any required upgrades to the province’s electricity system.
