Environmental advocate Erin Brockovich says "everybody's having the same concern" about the rapid development of data centers near residential areas. "This was done almost in secrecy, non-disclosure," she says. "They had no idea it was coming. They had no information about how much water consumption was going to be used."

Erin Brockovich is sounding the alarm on the impact data centers are having on rural communities' water supply. “These big data centers are coming into rural areas of farmland where a lot of people are on their own well water.” “They report a reduction in water pressure. Their water is just dripping into a bucket.” “They’re very concerned that they could lose their aquifers, and they could literally be out of water.” As AI drives a massive data center boom, many rural communities are raising concerns about depleted aquifers, falling water pressure, and growing strain on local water supplies. Rural families should not be forced to compete with massive corporations for access to clean water and other essential resources. Erin Brockovich

🚨 Akademiks says he has NO sympathy for Serayah over the Joey Bada$$ cheating situation and says women are often attracted to the same type of men they later complain about Ak says if a man was already cheating before the baby, having a child was never going to suddenly change him: “He had his provisional license before. Now he got his general license.” Ak says women often complain later about the same type of men they were attracted to in the first place: “Cheaters are y’all type. Deadbeats, that’s y’all type.”

Georgia is basically turning into one large data center Get ready for this, there is no legal obligation for data centers to disclose how much water they will be using - Georgia currently has about 162 data centers already - They have an additional 141 new data centers planned - Combined these data centers will use 12+ GW or more of power, this is equivalent to the usage of 10 MILLION homes - Combined water usage estimate of 35+ billion gallons per year or higher Absolutely insane There is no comprehensive federal requirement for data centers to publicly report detailed water usage. A bill was introduced called “the Data Center Water and Energy Transparency Act” to mandate reporting of energy and water consumption to states and the EPA This is an issue, here’s one example The Quality Technology Services data center in Fayette County used 29–30 million gallons of water went unmetered and unbilled for months without initial detection. Residents complained about low pressure during drought conditions. The company later paid retroactively $150,000 but faced no fines

There it is… 🚨Scott Bessent says they are using the same tactics they used to take down the MAFIA Say it with me…. RICOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO Remember, Good things TAKE TIME. In the 1970’s-1980’s operation to take down the mafia, they DID NOT pull the trigger until they had absolutely everything and there were no holes to slither out of. It took over a decade. Because, It had to be done right. It had to be done according to the rule of law. It had to carry weight. It had to be proven in the court of law. There could be no mistakes. Q#3725
