There is a cult of ignorance... nurtured by the false notion that democracy means that ‘my ignorance is just as good as your knowledge.’
— Isaac Asimov
Erin Brockovich has launched a new interactive website and map tracking data centers across America — and the response has been overwhelming.
In just the first week, the site logged 1,690 resident complaints, with over 1,800 submissions coming in from 47 states shortly after launch.
Residents are reporting serious issues including:
• Massive water usage draining local supplies
• Sharply rising utility bills for nearby homes
• Constant 24/7 noise from fans and generators disrupting sleep and daily life
• Concerns over e-waste and potential PFAS contamination
This comes from the same Erin Brockovich who famously won a $333 million settlement against PG&E in the 1990s for contaminating drinking water in Hinckley, California.
The map shows operational, under-construction, and proposed AI data centers, allowing people to submit reports with photos and locations.
What the map shows~
• Major AI data centers (operational, under construction, or proposed) across the U.S.
• Overlaid with community-reported concerns (pins from residents emailing in issues).
• You can click markers for details, sources, and reports. It uses a leaflet/OpenStreetMap-based interactive map.
Stats from the site (as of ~May 24, 2026)
• 33 Operational (built & running)
• 44 Under Construction (announced or building)
• 27 Proposed (in pipeline/pending approval)
• Hundreds/thousands of community reports nationwide (earlier reports mentioned 2,700+ submissions from 49 states, with Texas leading heavily).
Many Americans are now asking whether the rapid expansion of data centers is coming at too high a cost to local communities and the environment.

The government has come up with a new term to target activists who oppose data centers: anti-tech violent extremism.
The US has 5,381 data centers, which is 12 times more than China’s 449.
The billionaires pushing data centers we don’t need or want are the real extremists here.
🚨BREAKING: There is NO water in The Rio Grande?!
I’m standing here in New Mexico and the river is completely DRY.
Nearby AI data centers are consuming massive amounts of water to keep their systems cool.
Meta’s Los Lunas facility alone has reportedly been tied to roughly 75 million gallons of water usage per year connected to Rio Grande resources and it’s only ONE of many projects expanding across the state.
People can argue over the exact numbers, but one thing is undeniable… these facilities require enormous amounts of water and there are more data centers across the country being built as we speak.
This is starting to look like an environmental disaster in plain sight.
We need to put pressure on local representatives and the President to examine this environmental crisis before it’s too late.
They know, we know, the world knows: Led by the second most notorious child rapist in history after Jeffrey Epstein, the Republican Party is a cesspool of pedophilia.
Here we go again. The people of Conway, Arkansas being told to sit down, shut up, and stop asking questions about the new data center coming to town.
The developer is Forge Light Ventures acting on behalf of a SECRET Fortune 100 company.
They don’t even know who the heck it is.
The U.S. already has 5,500 data centers that use 449 million gallons of water a day.
They’re being built on farmland so in addition to taking away our water they’re taking away our food supply all for mass surveillance, AI slop, and to make billionaires richer.
These data centers will ultimately lead to our extinction if we don’t stop them.
