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?

We flew a thermal drone over one of the largest data centers planned on the East Coast. What we found: 60+ unpermitted generators, tractor-trailer-sized, burning a mile from two schools.

There's new hope for premature babies and their families. Two studies by the University of Sydney have found that delaying clamping the umbilical cord by "two minutes" could reduce the risk of death in premature babies by more than half. #9News

🚨 DATA CENTER MORATORIUMS ARE JUST THE FIRST STEP. A moratorium means PAUSE. While Florida pauses, let’s make sure our politicians keep us from becoming Northern Virginia. In Loudoun County, data centers surround cemeteries. You can sit on a bench in the cemetery and hear the constant whirl of the machines. They sit across from homes, turning backyard views into massive, noisy data centers. Residents were told the noise was temporary. It wasn’t. The generators never turned off. The buildings are only part of the problem. Data centers need MORE LAND for high-voltage power lines and substations. In Loudoun County, they’re becoming more common than 7-Elevens. Don’t let them Virginia our Florida.

"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.

Paul Kedrosky on the money flooding into data centers: "You have this incredible flow of money purchasing things that's increasingly divorced from what's going on inside the data centers." "From the standpoint of most of the lenders I talk to, there could be hide and go seek competitions going on inside the data centers, and they wouldn't give a f***." → Listen: → Watch:

"Data Center Alley" a section of Virginia with the densest concentration of data centers in the country, caused the power to flicker across the East Coast. On Wednesday, July 22nd the electricity flickered on and off for about 10 minutes throughout the Eastern U.S., from Chicago to Boston to Miami. The cause appears to be a concentration of data centers straining the grid. Video from: NBC4 Washington

🚨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.

Some of the most explosive revelations about the pandemic have come from Ed Dowd, who tracks life insurance data to guide investment decisions. Edward Dowd's analysis shows an acceleration of sudden deaths beginning in 2021 – not 2020 – and he blames the "one thing that changed"

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.
