Sometimes a picture is worth 1000 words. The pic Thom generated for this post should press the woke button in everyone's head. Americans need to learn the Billionaire 3 Rs. All of them are reckless, ruthless, and rapacious.
It’s time to act in rejecting these horrendous air and water sucking institutions.
Of course they want to use regular Americans environments as a method to their madness. The evidence that has been gathered is not encouraging. We know these corporations owned by the wealthy are ruthless when it comes to endangering our environment for their almighty buck.
Do not trust any of their assurances. We have been on this road for quite some time and the only enrichment from these people goes into their pockets . Make no mistake . Our pockets will be empty in no time. They are masters at ruining the environment for us , and taking over our natural resources and our lives . We need to fight diligently and doggedly to keep these threats from our children ourselves and the world in general.
Patricia,you are 100% right.Nvidia is the biggest backer of the data centers,Jensen Huang is the CEO. He is thumbing his nose at all of us and saying,you're going to pay,we are not going to pay.It is time to fight back against these arrogant pigs. We cannot depend on legacy media and Corporate Dems to do anything to help.
How many Tech Bros can Argentina hide? They have been exposed by these data centers and the dirty deals they are constantly cutting with local, state, and national politicians. Expect more of them to flee.
Why do you think they really want Greenland? Cold climate and plenty of cold water! They want control of everything in the Western Hemisphere---no rules, no regulations. Look-up The Technate of America in WIKI. That's the real goal.
"We The People" are in the way along with our pesky democracy. The Tech Bros and Crypto Creeps are fascists one and all. They will fail. Let's get loud. Thanks Thom and Company for helping EVERY day. See you in the streets.
Great post. Today on CNBC,Jim Kramer had a conversation with Jensen Huang( Nvidia) about AI and what the future holds for AI. Huang is determined to expand the use of AI worldwide,with Nvidia chips. He is not concerned about the threat of AI creating massive job loss,he is gleeful about that possibility. CNBC ,Jim Kramer are allies of Nvidia.Nvidia also supplies the chips for the data centers that are negatively impacting many states. Lets be clear about what is happening,Jensen Huang is saying : he is going to shove AI down our throats,wheather we like it or not.
Yesterday,the courts fined Meta(Facebook) 17.1 billion dollars for continuing to scale up social media posts that entrap children. Each new 13 yr old is worth $270.00,they have monetized the value of your children and grandchildren.How many kids have tried to commit suicide as a result of the negative feedback from their social media posts. It is time to put Mark Zuckerberg behind bars for the damage he has created.
Because of how nearly every invention these days tends to be exploited by those with the most selfish megalomaniacal intentions, I've become something of a Luddite. But in itself, there is nothing evil about technology. Maybe some things we would be better off not having, owing to the fatal flaws in human character. But the need for strict, strong regulation of our technology, from AI to guns, is the only way we can save ourselves from ourselves.
Corporate Democrats take note: Rather than devoting your energies to undermining progressive candidates, the DSA, etc., and vilifying Hassan Piker, etc., while empowering AIPAC, the ADL, and your neolib donors and consultants, etc., do us a solid and return to New Deal principles. That would be consistent with honoring the Constitutional oath you took. The Democratic Party’s abysmal popularity is directly attributable to decades of hypocritical noise making. The Repugnican Party has given us orchards of low hanging fruit. Harvest season will soon be here.
Thank you Thom for all of this disturbing info about Data Centers and how the AI companies are getting the public to pay for the massive amount of water and electricity that is necessary--not to mention the amount of land they require. The health problems and pollution that results from these data centers is horrific. I hope that all the progressive social democrats running for the House and Senate can see this article of yours and incorporate this important info into their campaign speeches. So far, I haven't heard enough politicians making this a priority in their chosen talking points. It's only independent media, like substacks, and now especially yours, that is focusing on this crucial topic and the facts. In my personal opinion, I'd like AI and data centers to not exist.
Lila,thanks for your post. You will not get the media or corporate DEMS to pushback,they have Nvidia stock and have made a lot of money. The pushback has to be against Jensen Huang(CEO of Nvidia) and CNBC-Jim Kramer.Also against the financial institutions that hold Nvidia stock.
It's not because of Trump. Locally in Illinois and northwest Indiana, there have been several centers proposed and Democratic city councils and representatives have been holding tumultuous town halls in which almost all residents are expressing adamant opposition to data center development in their districts. The projects are approved regardless. Gretchen Whitmer made a hot mic comment (which pundits are trying to convince us that we didn't hear) referring to the reality that our voices do not matter when it comes to making such decisions. But development of toxic industry in poor or working class communities is nothing new, just more malignant as we've handed over our well-being to politicians who work hard for the money.
Mine are not "so-called"! We've had Bonnie Watson Coleman for years. She's retiring and Adam Hamawy is running to replace her. He has proven enormous courage. Our 2 Senators are effective and truly devoted: Cory Booker and Andy Kim. I wish all other states were this fortunate.
I firmly hope the entire country supports AOC's bill for a complete moratorium on the building of all and ANY new Data Centers (Mass Surveillance Centers) for the foreseeable future. To me, Data Centers are the 2nd worst human invented thing to happen to Humanity since the World began. to me, Data Centers are the 2nd worst man invented thing to happen to humanity since the world began.ilding of all and any new Dats Centers (Mass Surveillance Centers) for the forseeable future.
Thank you for addressing our AI Data centers debacle head on. The only people in favor of these centers are those who've been paid off or who are the billionairs who are making it their business. They are in it only for the money--in most cases they are not those who developed the AI. Please, continue to bring this issue to the world's attention.

Industries of the polluting kind have forever been plunking down their toxic venues next to minority homes and next to poor majority homes.
Now, in the spirit of equalizing the horror, the suburbs and exurbs are targeted and partaking.
Home devaluation. Unsourced cancer. Sky-high electric bills. And a steady 24/7 racket.
Oh my.
And the Trumps and cronies get mysteriously richer*.
#VOTE to lasso AI like a rodeo calf. Lasso Krasnov the Russian, too, while you're at it.
#SEND Barron into the US NAVY.

Sir,you can push back against Nvidia,they are the source of the data center and AI expansion.

Good of you to connect those Greenland dots!! It had not occurred to me!

I do hear and see this issue addressed on TV, but I mostly watch MS.NOW and CNN and PBS.

Send this article to all your so called representatives in Congress.
