"Some data centers can use up to 30 million gallons of water a day because they're submerged in water. So they're utilizing all the water from the aquifers, the municipal waters. So people with their own wells are reporting that their wells are running dry."
Erin Brockovich reveals that major tech companies including Meta, Google, and Amazon are building massive AI data centers that consume extraordinary amounts of water for cooling purposes. Communities near these facilities report wells running dry and significantly higher utility bills as data centers drain local aquifers and municipal water supplies. Residents also face constant noise pollution and mental health issues from the 24/7 humming of facilities the size of 20 Super Walmarts.
