An argument we keep hearing from the pro-data center crowd is that we can reduce data centers’ climate impacts by powering them with clean energy instead. That’s not true for this reason ⬇️ and more – and also threatens the progress of our already slow energy transition.
So many people who live or work on farms face illnesses from pesticide exposure, while the corporations behind this crisis have mostly avoided accountability. Congress must pass @senbooker's Pesticide Injury Accountability Act: https://t.co/tpFbGfKHu1

People are seeing higher energy bills and more pollution because of AI data centers. So naturally, tech companies are trying to greenwash these energy-intensive facilities by promising they’ll “bring their own power.” Here’s why those claims are bogus ⬇️ https://t.co/K0UFLrSgH3
While it’s not at all surprising that this administration wants to gut the Clean Water Act and ensure corporate polluters can poison our drinking water sources with impunity, that doesn’t make it any less infuriating. https://t.co/eOK6cHyDW0

These are statements from leaders in AI! Why is it acceptable for our political establishment to be palling around with industry leaders who are so casually talking about their products having a ~10% chance of killing humans?! Would this be okay with any other product?
From Willie Nelson, to SZA, Brad Paisley and more, celebrities are using their platforms to voice their opposition to data centers. It’s past time for Congress to LISTEN and pass a nationwide moratorium! https://t.co/aqoM1aPQ4L
