The City of Phoenix announces they are preparing for new water restrictions, including charging people who use a lot of water due to a shortage of water Residents will be on water restrictions, meanwhile Arizona has allowed 24 data centers to be built, with roughly 30 more being planned Arizona is experiencing a major data center boom The shortage of water is due to serious cuts to the Colorado river water supply “The City of Phoenix is anticipating serious cuts to our water supply from the Colorado River — We cannot conserve our way out of the problem of this magnitude. The Water Services Department announced by the end of the year, Phoenix will likely enter stage 2 of the plan where they will have to use backup water supplies to meet demand. It may include things like additional conservation education, expansion of water audits, incentives and rebates to ensure efficient use of water” “It could also bring surcharges, meaning if someone uses more water than what they are allocated, they could face additional charges for it.” But Arizona lawmakers are allowing 30-50+ data centers Make it make sense

Why do AI Data centers need fresh clean water, why can't they use dirty water if it's just being used to cool? This ladies theory is a theory we've all explored.

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

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

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

This is only part of his answer but listen to how Governor Cox describes people who are genuinely opposed to data centers You are people “who are against virtually everything” who have “destroyed our country, our industrial base, our mining base, our housing base” I’ve talked to lots of people who oppose data centers. They don’t oppose all development. They oppose date centers because, for example, they don’t understand why there is water for data centers but not farmers. The overall question is whether this is a good use of resources? My view is no and that is based on my research. They suck massive amounts of water and power, and create noise and light pollution for very few jobs. Our elected officials are pushing these for their big donors. Unfortunately, the only way to stop them is to vote people out who approve them.

🚨 JUST IN: Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis has just BANNED AI data centers from using up all the water needed by citizens during a drought And the law BANS utility companies from charging higher prices because of data centers "How are you going to say that somehow the water can go to a data center when we need to water for our own people and for the core functions of our society?"

The narrative about data centers that were built in Virginia 20 years ago, they were old technology. They used a lot of water, they were very noisy, they created a lot of heat. But like every other technology, it's advanced dramatically. Today, we don't use a lot of water in data centers because it's a closed loop system like your car, your radiator. It stays inside a system. Many turbines now don't use water at all, they’re air-cooled. This narrative about data centers destroying the environment is an old story, and it's being used by those that don't wanna see this advance. We just need more capacity. We have to build it more responsibly, and that's exactly what's going on now. So this narrative is mostly a falsehood. And I think I know who's spreading this falsehood by the way. They're not our friends.

I’m not saying they are building all these data centers to roll out the social credit scores. I’m just saying I don’t think we need all of these data centers to run ChatGPT, Grok, Claude etc. But if you did want social credit scores, you would need a lot of data centers🤔

Here’s the thing about the data centers that not enough people are talking about: They are being built on top of farmland. THEY ARE REPLACING OUR FOOD SUPPLY WITH MASS SURVEILLANCE CENTERS. Humans cannot survive without food or water. Two things data centers are taking away. So why are they doing this? Because the billionaire class knows AI is going to replace millions of human jobs so they are deliberately reducing our food supply. Their plan is to let millions of us die to usher in their AI techno-capitalist dystopia. That is why the fight against these data centers is an existential fight for humanity’s survival.

They found a loophole the tech barons didn’t expect. One county used the 2024 NDAA to stop a data center because these projects depend on foreign supply chains tied to China. If we organize, we can protect our land, our water, and our future. Join the movement to stop AI data centers >> #Texas #AIDatacenters #ProtectTexas #Water

The U.S. already has 5,500 data centers that use 449 million gallons of water a day. They’re being built on farmland so in addition to taking away our water they’re taking away our food supply all for mass surveillance, AI slop, and to make billionaires richer. These data centers will ultimately lead to our extinction if we don’t stop them.

This data center in Georgia STOLE around 30 MILLION gallons of water with a secret water tap they never told the local utilities about. We need real accountability for big tech data centers out here STEALING water to build a mass surveillance state that none of us even want.

We have a real problem with these so called "experimental data centers" They will drive up your electric bills, jeopardize our water supply, and are so loud you will hear them 24/7. I want to be clear. I am not going to regulate data centers, I am not going to reform data centers; as Florida Governor, I will reject and remove every data center in our state.

Data centers don't just take land and water. They may also take our health. Early reports show negative side effects for both people and livestock within 5 miles. Meanwhile, they're putting these centers next to schools, farms, and neighborhoods. We need to put the brakes on these things to protect our health.

Bill Maher on Data Centers: “To put it in perspective… golf uses WAY MORE [water than data centers]. Golf and f*cking raising… almonds is the thing we raise here. Like almonds and golf, I’m against both of them.” “I’m not against almonds I’m against raising them where we don’t have water to do it. And it’s like 7 TIMES the amount of water is being used on golf courses [than data centers].” “So maybe the issue itself is water.”

James Talarico: “If these data centers can’t meet the demands of the people who live in these communities, they shouldn’t be built. It’s pretty simple: if these data centers can’t pay for their own energy, it they can’t recycle their water and fund the water infrastructure necessary to operate these facilities, if they can’t produce good paying union jobs, if they can’t get the consent of the people who live in these communities then they shouldn’t be built. Period. Full stop”
