Erin Brockovich on data centers: They're very destructive. Everything was done under a non-disclosure agreement at the city council level. I'm like, that's really odd. So I created a map,

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: When I put this map out, in the first 72 hours, the map crashed twice, and I woke up on day 3 going, oh my God, it's not one town and one data center, it's the entire country. They had no idea. They woke up to this construction. They weren't informed. City council didn't tell them anything. Because these big tech groups came in and put these city council members under NDAs.

Yesterday, I spoke out against data centers and AI layoffs at the Seattle City Council. Under mass pressure, the City Council passed a one-year moratorium on new hyperscale data centers. This is a victory for working people, but one year is far from enough. My independent socialist campaign for Congress is the only one in this election fighting for an end to hyperscale data centers, for democratic public ownership of all existing data centers, and for a public-sector living wage jobs guarantee, funded by taxing the rich, to counter the AI-related mass layoffs. #datacenter #socialist #independent #ai #freepalestine

John: There is a lot of opposition to building in America, broadly. That's just the nature of our society. I was thinking about, what do Americans want to build? Because it's easy to look at the data center stuff and be like, "Well, everyone's against building data centers." I was reflecting on the whole reindustrialization meme this weekend. And I was thinking about the actual knock-on effects of reindustrialization — most people don't want a car factory in their town. I actually think people don't really want change. They don't want things built. Data centers are probably at the bottom of the list. They're the least popular. But people don't want stuff built, generally. There are very few things that people are like, "Yeah, I'd be down for that to be built." People like the status quo. They're happy with things as they are. And they don't like change. People block home construction all the time. Also, permitting and expansion of existing homes. I'm not saying that they're as unpopular as data centers. Data centers are at the bottom. But new housing in communities is like razor's edge. I do think there's an element of like, Americans don't want to build anything.

There is a hierarchy in Hollywood and I’ve done every level of it. At the very top is a global theatrical film like Marty Supreme. Everything changes up there: access, press, expectations. I thought I was at the top before. I wasn’t.

President Trump: I don't have deadlines. There will be a security agreement. It'll be a strong agreement. The European nations are very much involved in that. They'll be very much involved in protection, etc. But the European nations have been really great. They're very much in line with this meeting and getting a deal done. They're terrific people.

Erin Brockovich Says Small Towns are Starting to Fight Back Against AI Data Centers “I’ve never really seen anything like this in my 30 years of doing this type of environmental work - such a rise of the people on this issue. They are starting to turn that tide. Kevin O’Leary’s $100 billion, 40,000-acre campus near the Great Salt Lake had a footprint the size of Washington, D.C. Hundreds packed the fairgrounds chanting shame. People are saying, we didn’t even know. We didn’t have a voice. We weren’t informed. And now a plan to build the world’s largest data center is dead after three years of local opposition.” Erin Brockovich

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

Erin Brockovich Warns AI Data Centers Are Draining America’s Water “Some data centers can use up to 30 million gallons of water. They’re utilizing water from the aquifers and municipal waters, so people with their own wells are reporting that their wells are running dry. They’re having to dig deeper because of these mass amounts of water that these data centers require to stay cool. People are reporting water disruptions, no water at all, low water pressure, discolored water, and utility bills going from $40 a month to $800 a month. The constant 24/7 humming and buzzing is literally driving them insane. When tens of thousands of people are experiencing the exact same thing from the exact same data centers, why are we not listening to them?” Erin Brockovich

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”

In this war the number one precision missile attacks were around data centers. So if you look at what was attempted by Iran, it was to knock out the data centers in various countries in addition to energy. So what do you need to fight tomorrow's war? Let's, let's say the Chinese wanna take over Singapore. That's pure AI. You're gonna use drones. We know that already. They're very effective, low cost. You're gonna take out data centers, chip manufacturing. When you start to think about investing, and that's what I'm thinking about, I hate warfare obviously, but what does this tell me? The country with the most capacity for data centers and AI, is going to win the wars in the future.

MoistCr1TiKaL comes out strongly against data centers in recent video and ponders if they're making people sicker due to hoarding clean water "AI data centers are actually the boogeyman..a scourge on this planet and a stain on civilized society..no normal ppl with functioning frontal lobes want data centers in their community, it is bad for them" "I've been getting conspiratorial..I was reading something that someone was sharing about like when a AI data center came through, and the impact it had on their water, cause that's a very common thing" "I'm not fully bought into it..but it's an interesting theory..what if the reason there's been seemingly so much more sickness, like it feels like ppl are getting sick more frequently now and a wide variety of illnesses just seem more common..what if AI data centers are hoarding all of the clean water..what if all the clean water is being diverted to the AI data centers and the normal civilians are just getting the sludge runoff..I don't think it's out of the realm of possibility..they are evil enough to do that" (Via penguinz0 on YT)

NEW: Erin Brockovich tells Theo Von that over 120 U.S. municipalities have now banned or paused new data centers. Pausing America's data center boom is one of the biggest gifts we could hand to China in the AI race. Brockovich: "And now we're looking at over 120 municipalities that have put on a pause, moratorium, or flat out get out. And then it is the cities like in California, Monterey Park city banned them. Amen. Cities are banning them. So you got the 14, 15 states, but inside those states, state by state, county by county, ban, pause, moratorium, and you've got over 120 municipalities now under pauses, moratoriums, or bans."

We took Erin Brockovich's map of every data center in America. Then we laid the nation's aquifers on top of it. We noticed they're not building data centers where the land is cheap. They're building them where the water is. Farmers near these facilities say their livestock have stopped falling pregnant. Residents say the humming never stops. And the projects arrive under NDAs, so most towns don't know until the ground is already broken. The question isn’t where they’re building anymore. It’s why they’re building where they’re building. Tonight, we think we can answer that question. We’ve been covering the data center issue in great detail on this broadcast, and for good reason. It’s a serious problem in America and worldwide, and it’s one that is uniting people from all sides of the political aisle because, guess what, whether you are a conservative or a liberal, you have human rights that enable you to have access to basic survival needs like water, which was given to us by God, not by the state or Big Tech, by the way. Erin Brockovich joined the data center fight recently. She launched a site including a map that shows data centers either completed, under construction, planned, or community reported, likely due to all those pesky NDAs in place stopping us from knowing they’re coming to our area. But the public isn’t stupid. So Maria thought she’d do something a little bit different. She created a series of maps using Erin Brockovich’s data center data, then superimposed aquifer maps onto those maps, then superimposed smart city locations onto those maps. What Maria found was pretty mind-blowing and, she says, lends credence to her theory that those in charge are purposely making rural areas unlivable for the purpose of pushing people into smart cities, where they will be under constant surveillance and on a short leash.
