No AI data centers in Escambia county!
Yesterday, we joined community members for a mobilization against potential Escambia County data center plans. All around the United States, these data centers are using up clean water, consuming enormous amounts of energy while community members pay the price in rising electricity rates, and disrupting the lives of everyone around them by generating huge amounts of heat and destructive non-stop sound pollution.
The tech billionaires in this country are racing to build more and more data centers in order to maximize their profits and better exploit working people. Instead of using technology for the good of all people, these greedy billionaires are just looking to automate away our jobs and institute mass surveillance programs. The working people of Escambia County reject this predatory model, and we will continue to mobilize and organize for a data center ban!
