HUGE ‼️ The residents of Indianapolis beat Google and shut down Google’s proposed data center This $1 billion dollar data center would have used 1 MILLION gallons of water a day Farmers celebrate that their farms won’t be wiped out, “We farm three acres. So if there's no water or water contamination, I don't have a business” It’s not over yet though, “Residents remain cautiously optimistic, but it's clear that the fight is far from over. This is the same tactic that a secretive tech company used in St. Charles, Missouri, which pulled down their application in the hopes of returning to the community when opposition fades away. I don't trust Google for one second. We've been told before that if they withdraw on their own, then they can come back in three months” “This is yet another rejection of big tech secretly inserting themselves into a community, threatening its water supply, and electricity costs.”

A small town in Oregon is celebrating after officially stopping a large data center from being built in their community. The La Pine City Council voted unanimously to reject the proposed project. The proposal called for a massive 20-megawatt data center, which raised concerns among residents about energy use, water consumption, noise, and whether the project would truly benefit the community. BlackRock and Palantir frequently appeared in local community discussions, even though the data center was being built by Boxminer.

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.

🚨 Another one bites the dust. Over 100 Apex residents packed a town hall to push back against a massive data center proposal. This small town doesn’t even have a supermarket… yet they want to drop a huge energy-hungry data center right next to homes. Residents raised concerns about: • an already strained power grid • massive water usage • wildlife disruption • constant industrial noise One woman organized the community… and suddenly the room was full. Turns out when people actually show up and speak out, things change. And here’s the thing… Towns across the country are starting to push back on these projects. 👏 Proud of Apex. Proud of North Carolina.

There is a new massive 300 megawatt hyperscale AI data center proposed by a Netherlands-based company being put right next to a new medical and rehabilitation campus for injured, abused and recovering animals The data center would be only 1,100 feet away This new huge data center would impact the animals because of constant noise, vibrations, light pollution, heat and other disruptions. This would be especially bad for stressed, recovering, or sensitive animals The AI data center is claiming by the company to produce no increase in ambient or background noise levels at the property line or nearby areas They say “The facility will not exceed current background/ambient noise in the area” I wouldn’t believe this for a second, we’ve all seen how loud these hyperscale AI data centers are The location is in Alabama and the Greater Birmingham Humane Society is who’s speaking out because this data center is being proposed right next to their new proposed animal treatment facility This should not be allowed to happen
