Most data centers have semitruck-sized diesel backup generators, making sporadic smoke plumes a fact of life for many in Virginia. An analysis of the emissions found that pollution from the generators could cause respiratory symptoms and premature death.

Data centers are massive polluters driving up diesel prices. They rely on banks of diesel generators that spew particulate matter, sulfur dioxide, and nitrogen oxides, creating smog, acid rain, and asthma triggers. California has some of the strictest anti-pollution laws, yet keeps approving data centers nonstop. The CO2 emissions are enormous, but the climate crowd is suddenly silent. The hidden environmental cost of our digital addiction. Worth it?

"You need that fuel to run generators for life saving medical equipment." There is a lack of painkillers. Access to supplies means life or death at this point. We're deeply concerned for the fate of everyone in Gaza right now.

🚨BREAKING: NYPD Commissioner Jessica Tisch says the homemade bomb brought by Islamic Jihadists to a protest was an “explosive device that could have caused serious injury or death.” “The NYPD Bomb Squad has conducted a preliminary analysis of a device that was ignited and deployed at a protest yesterday and has determined that it is not a hoax device or a smoke bomb. It is, in fact, an improvised explosive device that could have caused serious injury or death.”

It is now the seventh day – something that has never happened before – of an emergency situation at the Zaporizhzhia Nuclear Power Plant. Because of Russian shelling, the plant has been cut off from power, disconnected from the electrical grid, and is being supplied with electricity by diesel generators. This is extraordinary. The generators and the plant were not designed for this, have never operated in this mode for long, and we already have information that one generator has failed. It is Russian shelling that prevents repair of the power lines to the plant and the restoration of basic safety. This is a threat to everyone – no terrorist in the world has ever dared to do to a nuclear plant what Russia is doing. And it is right that the world does not stay silent.

The cause of the fire at Kosher Kingdom, Golders Green, is still unknown and may well be an electrical fault. But the fact that many, myself included, immediately feared the worst as soon as we saw smoke and heard sirens is a damning indictment of Jewish life in Britain in 2026.

In the next two years, AI data centers will not only cause electric bills to soar, but are expected to generate the same emissions as driving over 300 billion miles — or 1,600 round trips to the sun from Earth. We need a moratorium on the construction of new AI data centers.

Within days of launch, it received a surge of submissions over 1,600 in the first week, and reports of 1,800+ from 47 states shortly after Common Resident Complaints Being Logged - Water usage - Raising utility bills for residents - Noise pollution: Constant 24/7 humming from fans, generators, and cooling systems disrupting sleep, daily life, and wildlife. - E-waste from frequent hardware upgrades, pollution including PFAS concerns

Fact: the climate disaster death rate has *declined* by 98% over the last century, even as carbon emissions have risen. The average person is 50X less likely to die of a climate-related cause than in 1920. Why? Fossil fuels. An inconvenient truth for the climate cult.

"Golf courses in Arizona use ~30X as much water as all data centers in Arizona. Best I can tell, data centers are generating ~50X as much revenue per gallon used. So, if I could close all golf courses in Arizona and replace them with data centers ... that would generate billions of dollars in revenue, without increasing water bills. I'm from a not super well-off area that is left behind by industry. I would be excited if a medium-sized data center were built in the vicinity that the town could then tax. I think that would be net good." - Andy Masley explains how building & taxing data centers can help revitalize many parts of America, with minimal environmental impact
