🚨 WOW! Erin Brockovich completely destroys the AI data center narrative. She confirms these massive facilities emit a non-stop, 24/7 deafening noise that is literally driving local residents crazy!

She exposes the total lack of environmental oversight. Pure corruption!

Energy use by AI data centres in the UK could cause emissions of 123m tonnes of carbon dioxide – as much generated by 2.7 million people over 10 years.

So while cow burps are blamed and farmers get punished with a carbon tax on fertiliser, the tech giants are rewarded with AI data centre contracts.

@PBresnihan Documents we obtained under Freedom of Information (FOI) reveal that the Terms of Reference for the €100,000 report were heavily skewed to produce a predetermined outcome in favour of data centres.

Here is the map of data centres in Ireland - over 130 of them.

Data centres now consume 22% of Ireland’s electricity

Virginia residents are breathing emissions from 10,000 diesel generators…and it’s worse inside the buildings.

I received word from a family member with insider knowledge yesterday that due to how hot the water they use to cool down their data centers gets, it actually begins to vaporize, releasing unimaginable concentrated amounts of toxic water treatment chemicals into the atmosphere.

And now The Washington Post has confirmed it: this infrastructure boom is a direct threat to human life. 👇

RTÉ faces a potential investigation over failing to tell Prime Time viewers a guest defending the GAA’s Allianz deal – in a segment presented by Miriam O’Callaghan – runs a business network that counts the insurer as a key commercial partner and member.

@irishexaminer I guess people don't like the fact that data centres are paying 9c per unit while they are paying 25-35c per unit
Or the fact that we pay carbon tax on granny's heating oil to "save the planet" and carbon fines to the EU, all while these datacentres cause huge amounts of CO2

[Niamh Ní Cheallaigh 🕊🇵🇸🌻🇮🇪♿️ @CheallaighNiamh]

Stop being mean to data centres. Yes, they are going to cost your job and a livable planet, but this "demonisation" must stop.

By order of Fianna Fáil and Fine Gael and their billionaire overlords.

RTÉ has spent €230,706 on luxury chauffeur services since 2021. -

Documents given to the Public Accounts Committee show a chauffeur company with Mercedes S class or BMW 7 Series cars is contracted to provide limousine services “on a 24 hours basis, 365 days per year” in the Dublin area.

NEW:

🇺🇸 The CEO of BlackRock, Larry Fink, says ordinary people’s savings accounts and pension funds, worth trillions of dollars will be used to build data centers and power grids for AI

He says that people will be forced to invest in it

“Much of this will come from savings accounts and pension accounts.”

During controversy over “sinister” media comments, Patrick O’Donovan didn’t admit he'd already secretly called a Coimisiún na Meán commissioner to see if he as media minister could trigger a state “examination” of RTÉ fuel protest coverage he didn't like.

Thirty-five MEPs have urged the EU Commission to scrap an “unlawful” confidentiality clause which hides the environmental impact of individual data centres — in the wake of an investigation led by Investigate Europe.

We don’t have enough staff to run the new children's hospital. Don’t worry though the robots are here, and it looks every bit as magical as Lucy Nugent said it would.

69 US jurisdictions have now blocked new data centers.

Citing the need to protect local power grids and water supplies, a growing number of cities, counties, and towns are pushing back hard against the explosive growth of AI data centers.

At least 69 jurisdictions across the United States have passed restrictions or outright moratoriums on new data center construction — with four of those bans made permanent.

Communities are alarmed by the massive resource demands of these facilities: enormous electricity consumption, millions of gallons of water for cooling, rising utility bills, constant noise, and the loss of local control over land use. What was once welcomed as economic development is now sparking fierce debates about sustainability and quality of life.

The tipping point came in Michigan, where a huge AI data center project backed by OpenAI and Oracle was approved despite strong local opposition. The decision triggered a domino effect, with neighboring towns rushing to pass their own bans to prevent similar developments.

As tech giants race to build the infrastructure needed for advanced AI, they’re increasingly running into resistance from communities unwilling to sacrifice their environment and resources for corporate expansion.

The digital revolution is now colliding with physical reality.
