FracTracker Alliance originally released its U.S. Data Centers Tracker in July 2025 — the first open-access\, facility-level dataset and interactive mapping tool documenting the rapid buildout of AI and data center infrastructure across the country. \n\n\n\n​The map has now been re-released as the Open U.S. Data Centers Tracker Dashboard\, optimized for advocacy use. It brings together information on project status\, energy demand\, operators\, and community resistance\, allowing users to explore where development is occurring and how it intersects with local infrastructure\, community demographics\, environmental conditions\, and governance. \n\n\n\n​This webinar will highlight how the tracker can be used in practice — from identifying proposed projects before construction begins\, to understanding regional hotspots like Northern Virginia and Georgia\, to exploring how community resistance and policy interventions are shaping outcomes. \n\n\n\n​Learn how to: \n\n\n\n\n​Navigate the new Open U.S. Data Center Tracker\n\n\n\n​Interpret key data fields such as project status and energy demand\n\n\n\n​Apply the tool to local organizing\, policy analysis\, academic research\, and advocacy campaigns\n\n\n\n\n​The session will also cover broader trends in data center expansion\, including the rise of hyperscale facilities\, concentration of development among a few major operators\, and the growing role of community resistance.

Far from the immaterial “cloud” promised by Silicon Valley\, data centers are vast\, resource-intensive industrial facilities whose growth is reshaping landscapes\, energy systems\, and political struggles across North America. \n\n\n\nDrawing lessons from Indigenous-led fights against pipelines\, mining projects\, and other forms of extractive infrastructure—as well as successful campaigns to block data centers—speakers will share insights from the frontlines of the data center frontier\, and explore how movements across sites and issues can build durable solidarities in the face of a rapidly expanding digital-industrial regime.
