REPORT: In a major win for ordinary Americans, Indianapolis residents just delivered a crushing blow to Big Tech—SHUTTING DOWN a $1 billion Google data center that would’ve drained over a million gallons of water every single day. The 500-acre project collapsed thanks to overwhelming public outcry. Locals packed city hall, warning that Google’s plans would devastate farms, drain their wells, and destroy their way of life. One farmer said losing clean water would mean losing his entire livelihood. Records reveal Google and other tech giants are pocketing massive tax breaks while states lose hundreds of millions each year. From Arizona to Georgia, communities are watching their wells dry up and their power bills soar as data centers spread like wildfire. In Indianapolis, the message is clear: people are done letting Big Tech drain their future. Power to the people—not to Google. Watch the full episode:👇

We have the worst drought in 26 years. We’re telling farmers they can’t water their crops, but Mark Zuckerberg and George Soros can come here and build a Data Center and use 500,000 gallons of water. No. We are going to stop the Data Center invasion.

NEW: In St. Charles, Missouri, a secret company has proposed building a massive data center on a 440-acre piece of farmland. It could drive up utility rates and affect water quality—but an NDA means residents have no idea who’s behind it. We were on the ground to investigate.

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

Senator Avard compared a data center to a Target store. They are not the same. A single data center can consume up to 5 million gallons of water per day, the same as 15,000 homes. They strain our power grid and drive up energy costs for everyone. #NHPolitics

The QTS data center campus in Fayetteville, about 20 miles south of Atlanta. Residents started complaining about low water pressure, which led to the discovery of two unmetered industrial water hookups—one installed without the utility knowing, the other not billed. The facility had used nearly 30 million gallons of water without paying, owing about $147,000 in retroactive charges. The county billed them but didn’t fine them, calling QTS their biggest customer and a partner. The story only came out after a resident got the letter through a public records request.

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
