Data Center Impacts
Real-world examples and analysis of how data centers harm communities.
Be informed and be ready to protect your community from the economic, environmental, and social harms of data centers.
While tech companies promote data centers as clean, high-tech facilities that bring jobs and investment, the reality reveals that corporations profit from the theft of finite resources while offloading the true costs onto taxpayers and communities already grappling with climate change, poverty, and inequality.
Training massive AI models requires months of continuous operation on giant data center clusters, creating unprecedented energy demands. That results in AI workloads consuming 3-8x more energy than traditional computing.
These massive industrial operations impose burdens across multiple domains, including financial, environmental, and public health sectors, often lacking transparency.
