Turning the UK into an AI powerhouse implies a lot more energy consumption. However, a large number of data centres already exist, and power demand is lower than ten years ago. Digitalisation makes an economy less energy intensive rather than more.

The Ukraine conflict has shown that mutual economic interdependence does not necessarily prevent war, and that energy infrastructure such as the supply of natural gas to Europe can be weaponised. With the British Isles increasingly reliant on energy imports via subsea gas pipelines and interconnectors, how resilient is the UK if these were to play a part in the theatre of war?
