It’s engineering reality: to keep AI processors from melting, data centers "drink" millions of gallons of Texas water daily. As a mechanical engineer, I see a system out of balance. While families face shortages, the RRC lets AI billionaires drain our aquifers without a plan.

Guess what’s really causing the droughts and future food shortages in the state of Texas? San Antonio data centers consumed 463 million gallons of water while the region faced extreme drought conditions. Data centers in the area use water equivalent to tens of thousands of households, even as residents faced Stage 3 watering restrictions. By 2030, Texas data center water consumption is projected to reach 399 billion gallons annually, accounting for 6.6% of the state's total water use. Meanwhile, Gov. Abbott, a neocon Zionist, sent TROOPS to Texas universities to brutally assault pro-Palestine students. Abbott also Signed a Blackmail Bill Prohibiting State Contracts and Investments with Companies that Boycott the Terrorist State Of Israel Signed on May 2nd, 2017. Trust the plan! All this winning!

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.

🚨DeSantis to unveil legislation RESTRICTING AI DATA CENTERS in the coming days! “In some parts of the country they're building massive hyperscale data centers that take a million gallons of water. We want our water to be for the general public, and not bogarted in that way.”

Americans DO NOT want hyperscale DATA CENTERS that consume millions of gallons of water per day and drive up our electricity bills. This ISN’T a partisan issue.

REPORT: Microsoft’s Stargate AI data center just drained half a billion gallons of water from drought-stricken Abilene, Texas—while residents are being told to cut back on showers. And this is only the beginning. By 2030, AI data centers are projected to consume 7% of Texas’ entire water supply. As families are forced to conserve, Big Tech is torching billions of gallons using outdated cooling systems that waste every drop—and towns like Abilene are already paying the price. This isn’t just a Texas problem—it’s coming for every state. Doc Pete Chambers, former Green Beret and candidate for Governor, warns that Texas is barreling toward a manmade disaster. If nothing changes, the cattle industry could collapse, food prices could soar, and Texans may be forced to rely on imported beef riddled with disease. He’s calling for urgent action: coastal desalination, water recycling, and strict limits on where these facilities can be built. Are we really going to drain our land, kill our food supply, and surrender to Silicon Valley—just to keep AI online? Watch the full interview to hear what the current Governor of Texas refuses to admit.

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

Back in February, Paul Renner called for a moratorium on AI data centers in Florida. He was right. These massive AI data centers threaten our power grid, drain our water, raise costs on families, and hand Florida’s future to Big Tech. Florida First means people first. Stand with Renner. Stop the AI data center takeover. #BigTechByron #DataCenterDonalds #BankFraudByron

I should have been underwater. Lake Corpus Christi is dying. The vegetation taking over is proof that this isn't happening just because of a single drought, but a systemic shortage. Water is life. Without it, no ag, no food, no Texas. We need to protect our water, esp from the irresponsible AI data centers coming to take it. Sign our petition if you agree >> #WaterCrisis #Water #AIDataCenters #Texas #Agriculture

Texas is going from 40 Data Centers to over 400 in the next 2 years - Texas could use 30% of US data center power demand by 2028 - By 2030 the Texas data centers could use 161 billion gallons of water per year - The 400 data centers will use the equivalent of 9 million homes in energy usage every year I don’t want to EVER hear the words climate change ever again

🚨 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?"

Since this individual isn't from Monroe, NJ, the moderator attempts to dismiss his right to speak. The reality is, AI data centers consume more electricity than 25,000 households and use 50,000 gallons of water every day. This impacts us all. #DemsUnited

Water may become an endangered Resource as crazy as that sounds, in Illinois you have Ai for Amazon using 300 million Gallons of water, You have the Bitcoin in Texas using Massive amounts of Water, META in Georgia using Massive amounts and Microsoft using a Thousand Million Gallons in a year. That’s just to name a few.

KEVIN O’ LEARY: YOU NEED DATA CENTERS TO DO AI “You can't do AI without data centers. And so, we have a lack of them. The problem right now, as you see these announcements about building data centers, these are up to 20 billion dollars per gigawatt. These are expensive projects.” Source: CNBC Kevin O'Leary aka Mr. Wonderful

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.

While we need data centers, the public shouldn't be expected to contribute everything required for their operations. The centers consume vast amounts of energy and water, between 300,000 & 500,000 gallons per day. Billionaires usually build them. #DemsUnited #DemVoice1

Brad Paisley speaks out against AI data centers: “They’re trying to build a data center, a monstrosity next to the zoo where they’re not asking for permission and it’s also going to really affect something here in Nashville that’s one of the beloved parts of our town and it’s without the blessing of those who are gonna be affected by it. Nashville, we gotta fight this”

American Farmers are speaking out against META’s new Louisiana data center Farmers say this 2,500 acre data center is going to deplete their water system - The data center will require millions of gallons of water DAILY from local aquifers - The facility demands up to 2 gigawatts of power, leading Entergy Louisiana to build 3 new natural gas plants - 90% of the town’s residents income comes from farming “Our farmers around here really rely on the water system for irrigating their crops and stuff like that. If they deplete the water system, that's gonna be a big problem — In a sense, it feels like they come take advantage of us poor dumb rural folks, you know.” “This data center is gonna use about three times the energy that New Orleans uses in a year.” Residents are worried this is going to skyrocket their electric bills “This being large farming community here in Northeast Louisiana. We're giving our most valuable resource, which is farmland. I want to know what is META doing to give back to the community.”
