Microsoft is opening a brand new Data Center in San Jose, California It will sit on a 65 acre site, they claim it will run on renewable energy and recycled wastewater But get this, we know data centers use a ton of energy, so does the area have enough of this “renewable energy” to actually power the data center? Well according to what I could find the answer is NO, they do not. So it’s more of a concept (or possibly just a lie) at this point Another scam selling point to get it approved

Taylor Lorenz on the data center backlash: "I went on Eric Newcomer's podcast recently, because I'm in this community group in LA, and they found out that there's a data center in downtown LA. It's not a hyperscale. The comments are like, this is why I've been feeling off, or my dog has cancer." "That's not to say that there aren't serious environmental concerns with Colossus and some of these. Construction can disrupt the water table. Okay, but let's have an actual conversation about it." "Everybody has lost the plot. There's no nuance, and if you talk to a lot of these people, they can't even explain what a data center is." "A lot of the outrage about the data centers is coming from people that live in Brooklyn. You're feeding people slop and chum, and you're not moving these issues forward, and we're not talking about sustainable ways to build it." Taylor Lorenz Taylor Lorenz

A local utility company in Illinois has plans to help lower residents electrical bills They will be requiring new data centers and planned data centers to sign 10 year contracts saying they will be responsible for paying for upgrade costs and electricity usage costs “That means any new data centers would be on the hook for power upgrades and any energy they plan to use, even if the data center ends up not getting built or if they don't use as much power as planned or if they close. So if they use the power that they're applying for, then they'll pay their fair share of the cost of maintaining and building our grid through their rates”

SITUATION EXPLAINED: The anti-data center movement is trying to solve problems that don't exist. Adrian Dittmann: "There are a lot of misunderstandings around what exactly these things are, their environmental impact, why they even have an impact at all." "There's a neighborhood complaining about generator noise. But they actually requested the data center not connect to the local power infrastructure. So now the company has to run generators. The people complaining about the noise created the noise." "The water problem, people don't understand that these are self-contained systems and that these issues are largely 10 to 20 years old. Many of these issues do not even apply anymore." "You can even look this up yourself. The price for electricity because of data center construction has actually gone down because it has forced the energy companies to actually improve the infrastructure, improve the power grid." "Same thing happened with EVs. They said if there's gonna be a million EVs, there's going to be a collapse of the energy infrastructure. You have millions of EVs now. Nothing collapsed."

🚨 NOW — PRESIDENT TRUMP: "If I were a community? I would WANT the data center!" "It means jobs, it means income, and it means lower taxes." Q: Do you want Republican candidates to take the same stance? TRUMP: "No, I want them to do what they want." "If a Republican is against the data center, that's okay with me. I'm only saying that if I ran a community, now there are different types of communities." "But generally speaking, if I ran a community, if I was a mayor or if I was a governor in the state, I would want to have the data centers because they bring tremendous income. They're clean. They produce their own energy. The new ones are producing their own energy. I would want to have data centers."

Big Tech is suing a tiny Ohio town of Urbana after its city council listened to the residents and voted no on a massive AI data center Urbana only has a population of about 11,000 but they’re going up against a $20 billion company The company wants to put in a data center so massive it will use 8 times the entire town’s current annual electricity usage The data center project would claim 565 acres The$1 billion AI data center would likely use an enormous amount of water, up to hundreds of millions of gallons per year For a project of this scale, the Thor Equities’ proposal annual usage could easily reach 300–1,800+ million gallons per year in water usage “The city council also put a 12-month moratorium in place on all data centers, and on June 16th, they finalized the zoning regulations that said no data centers, leading Thor Equities to file a federal lawsuit against this tiny town. Laughably, they say they look forward to resolving this so they can continue being a strong partner for Urbana” Even when residents and the city council vote for what they want, these massive companies won’t be stopped

David Friedberg: Michael Burry’s Datacenter Math is Wrong “I actually think Michael Burberry's got this wrong.” “What Michael Burry is saying is that all of these hyperscalers have extended their depreciation schedule or the useful life of their data centers by roughly 2x, which cuts the operating costs in half when they report it in earnings. And so it's making their earnings inflate.” “So he's claiming they're cooking the books. Google first made this change in Q1 of 2021, where they said the servers are now going from 3 to 4 years. Separately in 2021, Google took networking equipment from 3 to 5 years. And then in 2023, they took it from 5 to 6 years.” “And so this is a result of this effort where they went in and did an analysis. So what happened?” “What happened in the data centers is that the data centers transitioned from being primarily data storage and data transfer systems, where you would use hard drives and RAM and memory to store data and then transmit it back out, to being data processing centers because of the AI boom.” “So as AI became more important in the data center, more of the dollars that are going into data centers were allocated towards chips from data storage, which initially was hard drives.” “And then suddenly, when you put these processors in to process the data to do AI, the majority of the spend and the majority of the energy is going towards the processors.” “I made some calls and I checked around with some other friends, and everyone says the same thing: that these 7-8 year old TPUs and GPUs that are sitting in the data centers are still being used and they're being used at 100% utilization.” “So that actually justifies and validates the depreciation schedule being much longer versus shorter.”

There is a new massive 300 megawatt hyperscale AI data center proposed by a Netherlands-based company being put right next to a new medical and rehabilitation campus for injured, abused and recovering animals The data center would be only 1,100 feet away This new huge data center would impact the animals because of constant noise, vibrations, light pollution, heat and other disruptions. This would be especially bad for stressed, recovering, or sensitive animals The AI data center is claiming by the company to produce no increase in ambient or background noise levels at the property line or nearby areas They say “The facility will not exceed current background/ambient noise in the area” I wouldn’t believe this for a second, we’ve all seen how loud these hyperscale AI data centers are The location is in Alabama and the Greater Birmingham Humane Society is who’s speaking out because this data center is being proposed right next to their new proposed animal treatment facility This should not be allowed to happen

People in Utah have started asking us an important question, when you build these power facilities for AI data centers, can some of that energy be sold back into the local grid? The answer is yes. That completely changes the conversation. Instead of being seen as “the evil data center guys,” we can help power Utah’s grid while also building critical AI infrastructure for the future. And despite the headlines, we’re not building the world’s largest data center overnight. We’re starting with just 1.5 gigawatts with 1 gigawatt of net IT load a small fraction of the long-term proposal and proving the model first. And it’s not a 40,000 acre data center. Our project a full build out will span 10-13k acres 7,500 of which will be preserved. We want the people of Box Elder County to come see it themselves, the EPA air quality standards, the water permits, the noise compliance, and how the project actually operates before anything scales further.

A new HUGE data center campus called Project Open Sky is being planned in Oklahoma. The land will be over a square mile with 6 Data Centers One American family all built houses together on a compound, and the data center campus is planned less than 300 feet away from their homes The residents say they already have a water pressure issue and this is going to mean there won’t be enough water to farm or even for their homes The data center campus could use as 27.4 million gallons per year “They literally have an entire square mile and are pushing to get more — Cloverleaf Infrastructure is the company behind Project Open Sky, which is in talks to build a 633-acre campus with as many as 6 data centers on it” This is going to destroy the lives of the residents in this town

.Shaun Maguire says SpaceX's data center deal with Google may suggest there is something fundamentally different about the company's terrestrial compute. "I think a lot of people were surprised by the Anthropic and Google announcements. And I think a lot of people are getting the wrong takeaway there." "The way a lot of people are interpreting that is it's like, 'oh, we're just in this temporary compute shortage. And so anyone's willing to work with anyone, and they're willing to pay any price for compute.'" "I think that might be a reasonable way to look at the Anthropic announcement. I don't think that makes sense for looking at the Google announcement." "To me, I think an alternative hypothesis is that SpaceX's terrestrial compute is not actually a commodity. There's something that's better about it than other people's terrestrial compute."

Data Centers are coaching their workers on how to lie to the public and their family about how Data Center water usage is actually a good thing “I work at an architecture firm that mainly does data centers, and just to give you all an idea of how out of touch the people making these things are. Today we had a meeting where we were essentially asked to defend the water usage of data centers to our friends and family in conversation at the dinner table or online. They provided them with a graph to break down water usage (included) but I’ll go over it The chart compares “domestic water usage” (toilets, sinks, etc.) for a typical-sized closed-loop data center of 600,000 gallons per year against other things of “equivalent square footage”: Cornfield: 5.85 million gallons Vineyard: 5.60 million Golf course: 5.45 million Peanut farm: 2.88 million Movie theater: 935,000 5 households: 730,000 They make the point that “Data centers aren’t the big water users you think” But that’s not really true “It's still using an incredible amount of water — and the key piece of evidence here was when someone gets pissed at a data center's water usage, ask them if they like golf. And when they say yes, let them know that a golf course uses 9 times as much water much water as a data center. That'll shut them up, because no one disapproves of golf courses using an exorbitant amount of water…” Not to mention, this is incredibly misleading The 600,000 gallons is mostly just building operations of things like sinks and bathrooms. It downplays or completely excludes the main water use, which is cooling the servers More fake propaganda

“Courts have stopped the president from defacing the Kennedy Center, but they haven’t stopped him from destroying the Kennedy Center. And the larger fight is over the future of the Kennedy Center. And that fight is surrounding Trump’s plan to close it down for two years and then gut it, and then renovate it, however he sees fit, I’m sure with a lot of gold stuff, right? And that fight is still ongoing.” “And what that means is that after July 4th, there is nothing planned at the Kennedy Center. If you look on the website in the calendar, there’s nothing booked. So, he’s effectively killing the Kennedy Center, even though his name’s not going to be on it, by just not booking anything and not putting anybody in charge of it. And that’s a tragedy for the Kennedy Center. And whatever you thought about the Kennedy Center before, for the next period of time, it’s going to be vacant.” “And that’s Trump’s decision. He would rather kill it out of spite because he didn’t get his way than to let it continue even imperfectly in the way it was operating. That’s very sad for the people who care about the Kennedy Center and the programming that was going on there.”

This is outrageous. A small town in Michigan did everything right to stop OpenAI & Oracle from building a $16 billion data center in their town. The people of Saline Township flooded their council meeting, put up signs all over town, and convinced their officials to reject it. The officials voted against the data center 4-1, and that should have been the end. But two days later the developers sued, and the town couldn’t afford to fight back in court. We are not a free nation when billion-dollar corporations can take over the land of our communities and towns. We are a captive nation ruled by corporations and billionaires.

ABC News investigated and found more than 3,000 data centers are already operating nationwide At least 1,000 more planned Residents near data centers are seeing much as 50%+ increases on their electric bills “ABC7 has also been covering public meetings over proposed data centers and there are questions about water use and the environment. The i-team in ABC News studied this private company's data center map and found that there are at least 4,302 data center projects across the U.S. Large and small. Of those, 3,038 are currently operational with another 1,203 either under construction or plan for construction. 61 have acquired land. In Illinois, there are 164 operating data centers with another 81 planned for construction. The largest state project plan is in Yorkville. It would be 2 gigawatts and according to the ABC7 data team would use the same energy that would power approximately 1.7 million homes more than every home in the city of Chicago.”

This is very alarming Housing developers are realizing that selling parcels to data center developers is far more profitable than building homes “AI data centers aren't just using electricity and water. They're using land previously planned for homes” - 55 homes were purchased for nearly $1 million per house and knocked down to build data centers outside of Chicago - Amazon paid $700 million for land so they could build a data center instead of homes - Meta, Amazon, Microsoft, and Alphabet are spending more money on data centers than the US spent on railroads in the the interstate highway system in the 1950s, and more than the US spent on the Apollo space program States are choosing data centers over homes. There are real examples of this Northern Virginia is the center of this phenomenon known as Data Center Alley, even though the region has a shortage of more than 75,000 homes I found real devastating examples of this happening: Prince William County / Bristow, Virginia (Northern Virginia “Data Center Alley”) The homebuilder Steve Alloy’s company was preparing to develop 516 new homes when surrounding land was rapidly bought up by Microsoft, Google, and other data center operators instead. Nearby, the Village Place housing project entitled for 250 additional units had its land sold to a data center developer for $31 million Stanley Martin Homes Land Flip to Amazon, Prince William County, Virginia Residential homebuilder Stanley Martin Homes assembled 270 acres for about $51 million. They flipped most of it to Amazon for $700 million In Suburban Chicago Illinois. Stream Data Centers bought a 55 home subdivision for nearly $1 million per home, demolished the houses, and built a 2.1 million sq ft data center campus This must be stopped.

June 17th, 2026 Potential situation happening in the Gulf. what concerns me is I haven't seen this type of radar activity since back when they created that hurricane, filled it with a ton of moisture, and then drove it up to North Carolina to wipe those towns off the map . I'm seeing the exact same things and it have been seeing it for a few days now . I made a video showing that they were already creating this disturbance, and now they are stalling it in the gulf while the radars cook as much as possible moisture as they can. Hopefully enough people become aware and maybe they'll back off , but if you live in the path of this thing and you are currently battling a corporation over some sort of resources, data center, or any other reason, I understand that you could potentially be on the target list, do not be afraid be prepared. I always suggest this, buy Cheap boat tied to your front porch and leave it there with a few extra lifejackets in it.

CNN’s Abby Phillip: [The Department of Energy said today] that they're ending wind and solar subsidies, taking more energy out of the system, not putting it into the system. So, yes, I mean, I'm not sure there's any problem solving happening.” Ben Ferguson: "If you look at windmills and you look at them in Texas and other states, they have been a disaster compared to what they were supposed to produce. They're not producing. So why would you invest in a BAD INVESTMENT. By the way, they’re doing this in Europe as well, the data is now there. The solar and wind isn't gonna fix our grid, and then if you're saying any more solar panels or wind turbines, we're totally screwed. We will have to go to 78 degrees.” Abby Phillip: “Here's the thing. I think that there is an argument to be made for all of the above energy, right?” Ben Ferguson: “But if it's ineffective and it doesn't work, why do it?”

BBC News, "The Green Party is calling on the government to slam the brakes, on the building of new AI data centres in England, because of the amount of energy and water they use" "The Green Party leader Zack Polanski says stricter environmental standards should be introduced" Zack Polanksi, "We need to slam the brakes on these energy guzzling, water guzzling data centres" "At a time when 3/4 of the country are in drought it's outrageous that these are being considered critical infrastructure" "To most people critical infrastructure is hospitals, water, electricity, it doesn't mean AI" Important to note that Australia's solution is making AI data centres provide green renewable energy as a precondition for AI data centres. The UK should be doing the same.
