Summary
EverWind Fuels plans an $8-billion AI data centre near Port Hawkesbury and a separate $2-billion wind farm project, but residents and Nova Scotia’s Official Opposition are pushing back. NDP Leader Claudia Chender says her party has heard from thousands of people and is calling for an emergency sitting of the legislature to address concerns about power bills, energy use and environmental impacts. The provincial grid operator has not confirmed whether the grid can support the centre.
