Environmental advocate Erin Brockovich is shifting her focus to the expanding footprint of Big Tech data centers.

Through a new project, Brockovich Data Center Reporting, she is monitoring the rapid growth of AI and hyperscale data center developments across the United States.

The platform tracks facilities that are operational, under construction, or in the planning stages, while also giving residents a way to report concerns about projects in their communities.

Key issues being examined include:

• Water usage
• Energy consumption
• Noise pollution
• Electronic waste
• Increasing utility bills
• Wider environmental impacts

The initiative aims to look beyond where data centers are being built and examine how they may affect nearby communities.

As demand for artificial intelligence continues to surge, technology companies are investing billions in new data centers that require significant amounts of electricity, water, and supporting infrastructure.

Brockovich is encouraging people to share firsthand experiences and local observations, arguing that potential environmental and economic impacts should be carefully assessed before they escalate into larger challenges.

Best known for exposing major water contamination cases, Brockovich is now turning her attention to the infrastructure behind the AI boom and the growing debate over sustainability, resource consumption, and community accountability.

The Pacific Northwest is seeing an inordinate push for nuclear power to meet forecasts of growing energy demand, as data centers (existing and planned) exert increasing pressure on energy and water use in our region, and claim "advanced nuclear" as a necessary future source of that energy.
