I have spent the entire weekend building a website to inform our county why we must reject resource sucking developments like data centers. Some of us are scrambling to mobilize a coordinated effort to protect our natural assets in our rural area as we found a website that makes it clear our county is actively courting data center development. I actually am not completely anti-AI as it is now. As someone who builds websites and apps, it has been helpful for me to do work in ways I could not do before as a mother of five. I am constantly evaluating whether that is good, moral, and even effective at times to reach my end goal. I do think how we use it matters, how prompt it matters to humanity much like using a math formula. Irony is that I used it to create an entire research based document laying out our position against large scale data centers. Something seems off to me about the push for these massive build outs as they will be obsolete in the near future as they are already moving to smaller more efficient processing. Like obsolete in 5ish years. It all stinks. None of it makes sense. And we have a real concern on our hands. I appreciate your unwavering position. It keeps me in check.
I appreciate the feedback, transparency and the work you are doing in your own community as well. It’s so wild that so many people, when I tell them about what’s going on here, have the same story to tell back to me. I know that many people don’t understand why we should oppose them as well, as the work you are doing to educate them is vital.
My kids now holler “not another data center!” As we drive through the Midwest, where we live. It’s hard feeling so powerless, though. And I 1000% appreciate the Napoleon Dynamite meme
My kids say the same thing when we drive past the signs people have put up in protest 😆 it is hard, to feel like such an impactful thing is so far out of our grasp. It’s very easy to feel defeated and if I’m honest, that’s how I am currently feeling. Thank you for appreciating my silly meme!
