TechCrunch
Environmental activist Erin Brockovich is demanding increased transparency regarding the environmental and community impacts of data center developments across the United States.

Summary

Environmental activist Erin Brockovich has launched a new initiative to expose the lack of transparency surrounding data center construction in the United States. Following a call for community reports, she received nearly 4,000 submissions detailing issues such as noise, water usage, and rising utility bills. Brockovich emphasizes that her goal is not to oppose AI or data centers entirely, but to challenge secretive development processes, including projects approved without public input and local officials operating under non-disclosure agreements.
