🚨 Data Centers in Ohio are preparing to discharge their water usage directly into lakes and streams and the EPA is working on permits to let them do it “The Ohio EPA is drafting permits to let that wastewater flow straight into our lakes and streams. Five year permits,...

There is a major concern about Data Centers that are using closed loop cooling systems that’s not being talked about There are a lot of chemicals being put into the water used in these systems. That water has to be flushed out every couple years Whistleblowers say that chemical water is being pushed into our streams and waterways and may have extremely limited cleaning requirements depending on state “I'm getting whistleblowers on the inside saying that they're taking all that waste and they're just running it down into the sewers. They're wanting to go to more closed cooling systems, and in those closed cooling systems, you still are gonna be using chemicals. There's no regulations about every 2 years when you have to clean out a cooling closed system, where are you gonna throw all of those chemicals?” “Taking polluted water and running it through system and dumping it into a river and it flows downstream, that will have a natural dilution, would resolve the issue, and it's not. Even if it's a closed cooling system, that water that's recycling in there, eventually they have to clean those systems. They have to release that water. And are there any regulations to look at what chemicals aren't in that water before we release it into the environment and just create another pollution issue?” “Right now it's a free-for-all out there.” It’s not a complete free for all, it depends on the states and general federal regulations. Discharges from cleaning, blowdown or maintenance are subject to environmental rules There should be compliance reporting but whistleblowers are saying none of this is being followed, they’re saying it’s a “free for all” and the data centers are just planning on the chemicals being diluted as they flow down our waterways We need investigations

The EPA is working with the chemical companies “The EPA made a request in the US Court of Appeals to vacate the current PFOS forever chemical drinking water regulation standards” They want to increase PFAS contamination in water “EPA argued that the 2024 maximum contaminant level standards, which they already delayed in May of this year, should be reversed because parts of the rulemaking process were unlawful. More specifically, the EPA said that some of the PFOS drinking rules were made without allowing the public to comment on and participate in the rulemaking process.” “The EPA's reasoning here is extremely inconsistent because the EPA recently rescinded their pesticide application record keeping rule without following the rulemaking process where the public can make comments. This makes it extremely hard to believe that the EPA isn't just doing what's best for the chemical industry, especially since this action was pushed for by the American Waterworks Association and chemical groups. The EPA's request will likely further delay the requirements for water utilities to ensure that PFAS forever chemicals are below certain levels in drinking water supply are entirely removed. The EPA said that they want to shift away from a combination of the maximum contaminant level goal and hazard index to only a hazard index. Since the EPA hasn't provided any more clarity as to what exactly this would look like, the move is creating more uncertainty regarding the future of our water supply. A representative from the chemical conglomerate Kemira said the company wholly supports the EPA's decision”

🚨 Ohio is quietly surrendering its water to AI. Not tomorrow. Right now. Central Ohio alone has 65+ new data centers planned. Each one can guzzle up to 5 million gallons per day just to cool the servers. Google’s New Albany facility? Already sucking down 348,000 gallons daily. One facility. We get 40 inches of rain a year. Ohio should be water-rich. Instead, we’re pumping groundwater faster than it can recharge. Wells are dropping. Aquifers are thinning. By 2050, industrial water demand is projected to explode 120%. That’s your drinking water, farmers’ irrigation, and every river, stream, and wetland in a losing battle against server farms. This isn’t sustainable. This isn’t progress. This is theft from our children’s future. That’s why Ohioans are fighting back: a citizen-led effort to amend the Ohio Constitution to ban large-scale data centers that threaten our water. Ballot language is being reviewed now. Petitions will hit every county soon. Most of these companies hide their real water usage behind NDAs. They don’t want you to know they’re drinking your future. AI doesn’t run on electricity alone. It runs on your water. Arizona already learned this lesson the hard way. Ohio doesn’t have to. We will not sacrifice our water, our land, and our grandchildren’s inheritance so tech billionaires can train bigger models. Sign the petitions when they drop. Spread the word. This is Water Wars and Ohio is waking up. #water #waterwars #ohio #bigtech #datacenters Casey Putsch for Ohio Governor
