Data centers don’t just magically appear. Texas didn’t become the data center capital by accident. They go where politicians offer billion-dollar tax breaks, cheap power, weak regulations, and a giant welcome mat. If we’re serious about fighting these projects, follow the incentives. The data centers are going exactly where... show more

Tenants of a small town in Pennsylvania are fighting a data center invasion that could evict them from their homes. Archbald, PA is home to just 7,000 people, but developers want to build 51 giant data centers there — taking over 14% of the entire town and a major power line.

WHAT’S THAT NOISE? Residents raise concerns about humming sound near data center in Vineland, New Jersey, disrupting their daily lives. These data centers are being built all over the country and our politicians are giving them tax write offs to do it. It's a problem.

KEVIN O’ LEARY: YOU NEED DATA CENTERS TO DO AI “You can't do AI without data centers. And so, we have a lack of them. The problem right now, as you see these announcements about building data centers, these are up to 20 billion dollars per gigawatt. These are expensive projects.” Source: CNBC Kevin O'Leary aka Mr. Wonderful

New Jersey residents are noticing construction crews surveying and replacing lines to upgrade power infrastructure for Data Centers Residents are paying for these upgrades These lines being updated are for a data center that’s not even close, it’s across the bridge 20 minutes away This is happening across Fairless Hills, Bristol, Middletown, and surrounding Bucks County spots due to multiple data center projects New Jersey already has 80+ data centers with more planned so these updates are happening everywhere Residents in these areas are already paying some of the power costs and grid upgrades related to data centers Welcome to corporate socialism. Money is taken from you to pay for the data centers infrastructure, but they won’t share any of the profits with you It’s called socialized losses and privatized profits

JB Pritzker has given over $1 billion in tax breaks to data centers, at one point making us the #2 state for data centers in the country (we're #4 now). All with no guardrails to protect local residents or regulate energy or water usage. So it's no surprise to see the room packed with opponents when a 3rd data center campus was being proposed in Hoffman Estates. Pritzker and Springfield failed to pause tax incentives for data centers and failed to put in place common sense regulations that ensure data centers pay all their energy costs, limit water usage, and contribute to a property tax relief fund for Illinoisans. Vote Independent in November and we will get it done.

Are Data Centers Worth the Noise to Local Communities? "Multiple cities of people have filed lawsuits and complaints against these data centers because of the noise." "The first question I ask myself is, are we gonna need data centers in America? Yes, if we wanna compete in the modern world, in the modern economy, we are going to need them. They are good for society and good for the economy."

AOC: And what are they asking for now? Endless energy. These companies are so desperate to profit from the AI boom that they are racing to construct thousands of giant AI data centers, jacking up utility costs for everyday Americans to pay for them. These data centers power thousands of high-intensity computer chips that are processing constantly and require massive amounts of energy to operate. Just one hyperscale data center consumes the same amount of energy in one second as 100,000 households. Because of this massive energy use, power and water utility companies must build multibillion-dollar infrastructure to keep up with the demand.

Iowa State Rep Adam Zabner says Google, Microsoft and META are getting large amounts of tax dollars to built data centers in Iowa He asked how much they were getting, they all refused to answer A law was passed allowing them to keep this information a secret Insane “Google, Microsoft, Meta, they're all building data centers in the state of Iowa. Today, representatives from each company testified before the Commerce Committee, and I asked them how much money they're receiving from local governments and state government in tax incentives. In other words, how many of your tax dollars are going towards these big data center projects? All three declined to answer the question. And under state law, they're not required to. Actually, it's a secret how much money is being given to these data center projects”

🚨 EUROPE IS BURNING… RIGHT AFTER POLITICIANS SIGNED MASSIVE DATA CENTER DEALS — AND PEOPLE ARE CONNECTING THE DOTS The same year politicians across Europe signed major contracts for new data centers… the continent is being hit by some of the worst wildfires in its history. Entire towns are being destroyed. Communities that protested the data center boom are watching their land burn. Some of those same people may now be forced to sell their land to the very companies they didn’t want there in the first place. At the same time, a strange and extreme heat wave is forcing millions of people to buy air conditioners all at once. And now politicians are saying they have no choice but to build more power plants… because of the heat wave. All of this is happening in countries that have already been dealing with severe drought for years. Data centers need massive amounts of power and land. Europe is suddenly on fire and overheating. Are these just tragic coincidences… or is something else going on?

Sen. Husted blames his constituents for record number of data centers in Ohio: "We just have to realize we're in this world in which we've created the demand. We the people have created the demand for these data centers because we use all of these digital products that it processes, and if we don't want them, then don't use them. I mean, you can go back to the bunny ear antenna on your TV, you don't need a data center. But if you're connected to a wire, you're using the data center. So, understand, when we look in the mirror, we are the problem."

WOW 🚨 Illinois resident says everyone showed up to their City Council meeting to oppose 14 data centers being built She said so many people showed up to oppose it, it took 6 hours with public comments At the end Democrats didn’t care and UNANIMOUSLY VOTED TO APPROVE THEM “I just spent six hours at a city council meeting — where they were discussing the 14 data centers they're gonna build in my city. And public comment went on for hours and hours and hours of people telling them how badly our community does not need this, and how detrimental it will be to the people, the wildlife, the health, the everything, all of the negative impacts of the data centers. We told them, and we told them over and over and over again, and then at the end, after sitting here for six hours, telling them this is not what we want — they unanimously voted yes for the data centers in our face”

Saying "NO AI data centers" won't end in victory. They'll just build them anyways. If you truly want to make a difference, you need to say, "No data centers, UNLESS..." Turn it into a negotiation instead of a war, so we can fight over what really matters. No data centers UNLESS they're not draining our energy. In fact, you could say, "you want 10 gigawatts of power? Ok, YOU pay for it. And because we’re allowing you to do it, you have to produce 15 gigawatts of power and give the excess to the grid." It's a win-win and YOU control the terms.

David Sacks dismantles Hochul’s data center myths: • Power: Build behind the meter. AI companies can become power companies • Land: Extremely efficient with massive ROI; America has plenty of open space • Noise: Overblown, easily fixed with distance • Water: Hoax — closed loop systems use less than In-N-Out or almonds • Jobs & Taxes: Big tax revenue, construction boom + ongoing jobs • Pollution: Powered by clean natural gas David Sacks “When you compare economic impact to all these different things, data centers are one of the best things we could be building as a nation. These data centers have become the scapegoat for all the angst about AI.” @jason “All I have to say is, Welcome to Texas.” Should states be welcoming or blocking data centers?

🇺🇸 CHARLIE KIRK LEGACY: BIBLE SALES ARE GROWING AND YOUNG AMERICANS ARE GOING BACK TO CHURCH America is trying to pull off a challenging combo move: beat everyone in the AI race and lower your electric bill at the same time. Sec. Howard Lutnick explains the Trump administration pitch to get 2 goals: more AI data centers and cheaper energy. If massive tech companies want to build power hungry data centers, they do not just take energy, they add energy too, according to Lutnick’s plan. That means more electricity on the grid, cheaper power nearby, and fewer locals feeling like big tech showed up, sucked resources dry, and left them with higher bills. AI growth, but with receipts. "If you're building a data center, you're going to give power to the grid and drive the energy costs of everybody around that data center lower. Trump is going to bring lower energy prices everywhere that a big tech company builds a big data center. Win the AI race, but drive down electricity costs so the people who live near those data centers are winners too." Source: Howard Lutnick
