Dirty/Polluting AI Centers

The

The Community Cost of Fueling the AI Boom 

Watch our Zoomchat with Ren Brabenec

DSOT has another great conversation, this time with freelance writer and journalist, Ren Brabenec of the Tennessee Lookout. In this chat we discuss the rising tide of AI data centers, who's behind them, what the costs are, and how we can fight back. Ren's reporting on the AI data center built by Elon Musk outside of Memphis is a stark reminder of what's at stake to communities if we lose. With over a thousand data centers being created across the country, we've got a lot of work ahead of us!
