Food & Water Watch

Food & Water Watch fights for the safe food, clean water, and livable climate we all deserve.

On today’s episode of unsurprising-but-still-infuriating news: This administration would rather let data center power plants create ACID RAIN than stand up for our health 😡 https://t.co/1AULAmzLrv

[Food & Water Watch @foodandwater]

We joined 17 groups in submitting comments to the EPA urging it to reject chemical companies’ efforts to fast-track approvals for PFAS in data center liquid cooling systems. These corporations are downplaying the risks of PFAS and we won’t stand for it! https://t.co/saMHvm1Fi9

The movement to stop AI data centers is getting stronger – and our collective voices are only getting louder ✊ Will you join us? https://t.co/4n4kXFAXj0 https://t.co/rdREaYk0z6

Like so many other extractive industries, AI data centers intensify racism and other forms of oppression. https://t.co/DIZR4X3hrt

Misleading narratives about fracked gas are a decades-old project from the fossil fuel industry, similar to tactics used by the tobacco lobby. https://t.co/ieuJiiCF4D

While many of us can barely pay for our utilities and groceries, they're profiting off of people's suffering.

[More Perfect Union @MorePerfectUS]

While working people struggle to pay more than $4/gallon at the pump, this week several oil giants reported record profits from last quarter.

- Shell reported $9.8 billion profit, a 130% increase over the same quarter last year and its best quarterly profit in four years.

- Chevron reported $12 billion profit, a nearly 400% increase over last year and the highest since 2020.

- ExxonMobil reported $14.5 billion profit, more than double the same quarter last year.

- TotalEnergies reported $6 billion profit, a 68% increase over the same quarter last year and the most in three years.

Big Tech can advertise as much as they want, but as long as data centers continue to spike people's utility bills and exploit our natural resources, people will continue to oppose this extractive industry. https://t.co/hEwDMuSJR6

It's disgusting but true: deregulation of food safety puts our GI systems at risk. https://t.co/l0pIcinuIh

[Food & Water Watch @foodandwater]

This is an absolutely inexcusable level of negligence.

[Floodlight @FloodlightNews]

The EPA operates 26 stations across the U.S. that monitor toxic air pollutants.

How many are in Louisiana and Texas, two of the states with the nation's largest toxic emissions? Zero. https://t.co/20SYxngGkJ

[Food & Water Watch @foodandwater]

Big Tech wants to get ahead of growing opposition to data centers with legislation that would fast-track infrastructure for this exploitative industry. We can't let that happen! Tell your Reps to oppose these bills: https://t.co/tI7y3uovyx

[Food & Water Watch @foodandwater]

Shell knew. They all knew. The rest of us are paying the price.

[DeSmog @DeSmog]

In 1966, a British scientist warned Shell that burning fossil fuels was likely causing climate change. Shell's response? Keep it secret for 60 years—then fund climate denial instead. Read DeSmog's new investigation here: https://t.co/tVPOepHMkm

It's the climate crisis, and it's also the defunding of federal agencies: Trump's DOGE cronies have laid off thousands of wildfire prevention staff. https://t.co/nt24fq2CgZ

[Food & Water Watch @foodandwater]

The list of health problems associated with microplastics just keeps getting longer. We need better monitoring for microplastics in water! https://t.co/qSfZf3yyjJ

[Food & Water Watch @foodandwater]

Big storms and other extreme weather + factory farming conditions = higher rates of foodborne illnesses. https://t.co/lc7xnTo4Cz

[Food & Water Watch @foodandwater]

The only ones who benefit from this are Big Tech execs. It doesn't help the people of Indiana, and it definitely doesn't help our planet.

[Ben Inskeep @Ben_Inskeep]

Take a drive with me through the 1,000-MW, 1,500-acre Meta data center in Lebanon, IN that recently started construction.

No buildings completed yet but it has already completely transformed the area.

[Food & Water Watch @foodandwater]

There is no good reason - not financial, and certainly not environmental - to prop up the coal industry. https://t.co/Qj9IL2839b

[Food & Water Watch @foodandwater]

Check out this in-depth piece on how Oregon's permit system for CAFOs does not provide adequate monitoring to protect the state's water supply:

[Inside Climate News @insideclimate]

Four organizations filed a lawsuit against Oregon over its new permit for industrial livestock operations, alleging it fails to meet Clean Water Act standards and leaves groundwater and surface water vulnerable to pollution.

[Food & Water Watch @foodandwater]

Even for this administration, the SAVE Act is blatantly undemocratic.
Tell your Senators to oppose this horrific piece of legislation: https://t.co/kHKowymzXw

[Food & Water Watch @foodandwater]

Big Tech companies are literally destroying literature to train their AI models. 😞 https://t.co/wcoZSt9o5F

"Big Oil is in panic mode."

They're afraid of accountability because they know just how much damage they've caused. https://t.co/XMHbHWINyk
