Communities are blocking billions in AI data center projects from coast to coast, and in Virginia, the resistance just made it all the way to the Supreme Court.
The data centers, I believe, are kill boxes. Their fumes, vibrations, frequencies, inter alia, sounds and radiation will be slow poisoning everything in a certain radius around it. The people will vanish, nice and quiet like, from all sorts of illness. The lands will be free for the picking. Again, people underestimate the treachery of those evil ones. Good for those ones who fight back.
Right. Poisoning the drinking and irrigation water. Have you seen the video posted on Rumble by Stop The Crime? No time to give you the link; comment back to me and I can get it for you.
El Trumpo is gonna be pissed as his goal of 500 new data centers costing $5 trillion taxpayer dollars may be in jeopardy. I expect an executive order banning all state opposition to the build out of palantir run data centers for the use of digital IDS.
...and THAT's your true "global warming" folks. We continue to be gaslit and deceived and these scumbag elites hold US responsible. WE are not the useless eaters, THEY ARE! It's time we all woke up and said NO to all of this BS! DO NOT COMPLY. PREPARE YOUR LIVES TO BE ABLE TO SAY NO!
We in Ohio are allowed to bring our own constitutional amendment to the ballot for a vote. We are underway currently collecting signatures to get this to the ballot for a vote, less than 90 days to collect a solid 413,000 votes by July 1st for the November ballot. We are aiming for over 600,000. This is purely unpaid grassroots volunteers. It is unbelievable that we've gotten this far so quickly. Wish us luck & prayers!
It's a petition by the electorate for a constitutional amendment to be placed on the ballot for Ohioans to vote on. If Ohioans vote to pass it in the November election, it will prohibit the construction of data centers larger than 25 MW.
We aren't funded, purely grassroots at this point, unpaid volunteers. We collected about 1800 initiatory signatures IN 8 DAYS to submit for approval by our Secretary of State and Board of Elections. Approval happened first try - which is rare for a grassroots try. This is a bi-partisan/non-partisan effort.
We have hyperscale data center proposals blitzing our state, local communities were finding NDAs and a lack of transparency hiding what was being planned by some county port authorities (acting now as land brokers) and some elected local officials. Conflicts of interest, lying about NDAs, emergency zoning changes benefiting data centers well before the public (even some local officials) were made aware of the secret plans already in the works for the data centers. Resident leaders getting nowhere so they began talking to each other, sharing notes and collaborated to hold a data center forum at University of Cincinnati in March to educate themselves and provide a record to empower those that may follow. The amendment petition was crafted shortly afterwards.
You mention the potential of these data centers “raising the temperatures as much as 13 degree F”, the residents of Imperial Valley (in the far SE corner of CA) are facing the possible location of an AI data center in their county. This is a county that is one of the poorest counties in CA, with a primarily agricultural based economy. The temps in the IV in the summer can average from, 113-115 F. Everyone lives and works with some kind of “refrigerated air” except the farmworkers.
I grew up in the Imperial Valley and am on a few FB groups regarding news from “The Valley”. I regularly post on these pages that ALL people in The Valley (regardless whether they live in a town near the proposed data center), to stand up and speak out. To go to all public meetings and what not and speak out, if they are not in favor of this data center being located in their county.
Yes! Absolutely! Speak up! Don't give up. Also, I would recommend these folks check out Foodandwaterwatch.org and datacenterwatch.org. They are not along and do not need to reinvent the wheel!
I linked your Substack to the Facebook group in the Imoerial Valley, and the links you have shared! When I was growing up in the Imperial Valley the demographics was split as 60% white and 40% Latino. Now many years later Latinos comprise 85% of the population, mostly of Mexican origins.
Hi Reinette- so glad you put this out there with some tracking resources to connect with. Thank you! I've also put the question out to Data Center Watch, but if you know anyone that I could connect with that would be interested in talking with the grass roots/resistance groups I'm connected with in the Boston/southern New Hampshire areas, please let me know! Thanks again for all you do! ~Patrick
our tef co. century link sold to Lumen technologies, and yes they are on the stock exchange, $7.09 per shrare, and yes it is reflected in our bill....soooooooo much corruption here in AZ
With an ai center in the Aleutian Islands, environmental impact can be more easily assessed. Will such an environment be able to absorb the degradation, or will it be obvious that the centers are unsustainable? As far as remoteness, that is just what some people want these days, and the only thing prohibiting them is the lack of an income, so it gives them a livlihood.
Elon wants those data things in space….trump wants them in Greenland …obviously something in between will be worked out…..the millions spent on fiber is not as bad as the demonrats 🐀 stealing a trillion from taxpayers..
This exposure should also have the benefit of further exposing the anthropomorphic climate change narrative as a total scam based on how extreme these "heat islands" can be. Obviously, these builders & investors were aiming for such centers to be ubiquitous to maximize profits quickly which would mean these "islands" would hardly wind up being as such and would cover a lot of territory. Add to that the fact of the energy and water resources required that would just increase dire living circumstances and it should become clearer to more people that these monomaniacal psychopaths/despots are hellbent on a total lack of sustainability (depop.) for the vast majority of us.
A lot of it is motivation to have ‘work’ when you live in a county that is agricultural based and you’re not in that industry. It’s that short sighted thinking “about the money”! I also imagine the construction team who is slated to build this data center project isn’t from the area, either .

Then get your wire clippers.
Yes he already as an AI Taskforce and litigation team ready to roll.
Not surprised. He is disgusting and pure evil.

I'm so glad we the people are wising up/waking up.

Lisa, this is phenomenal news. Is this to ban AI data centers? Exactly what is it?

WONDERFUL NEWS, KEEP UP THE GREAT MOVES FOLKS, BLESSINGS TO ALL!!!
Another fantastic educational piece, Reinette!! Keep knocking them out of the park!

Patrick, I don't know anyone personally, but I would simply stay persistent. I think they are pretty good at connecting with folks!!!
Understood - thank you, Reinette!
our tef co. century link sold to Lumen technologies, and yes they are on the stock exchange, $7.09 per shrare, and yes it is reflected in our bill....soooooooo much corruption here in AZ
Maybe everyone in tef co. need to invest in their own telecom stock and make their money back!
The ai centers will continue, like it or not. But build them in like the Aleutian Islands, cold, plenty of water, very low population.
True.... but one hell of a distance.
I spent time commercial fishing along those islands. It feels timeless out there.

Think about it
Supply chains... they are a b*tch. Especially now that everything is getting blown up!
True ... at least taxpayers get something functional for their investment: Faster cheaper data instead of rows of smiling Somalis.
.....IS it the 'demonrats' ALONE, Ferg? I don't THINK so - NOT by a country MILE.....

Well said.
Then they will blame the increased heat on Climate Change, its a perfect scam.
Right? How convenient.
Indeed 🙃
More info on the AI Data Center in the Imperial Valley. A Labor union is behind it the building of it!
https://www.thedesertreview.com/news/local/county-votes-for-lot-merger-of-proposed-data-center-site/article_ea122f9b-0872-4ce1-89d1-bef2b10925c9.html
Time to reach out to the union works and let them know what their union is supporting.
A lot of it is motivation to have ‘work’ when you live in a county that is agricultural based and you’re not in that industry. It’s that short sighted thinking “about the money”! I also imagine the construction team who is slated to build this data center project isn’t from the area, either .
Thanks Reinette, you put a lot of graft into this article, well done, definitely worth the read and application, cheers..!
Thanks, Mart!
