COMMUNITIES MUST UNDERSTAND THAT DATA CENTERS MAY NOT BENEFIT THEM AND THE INDUSTRY CANNOT BE TRUSTED TO MITIGATE THE HARMS THAT DC  INFLICT UPON THEM. THE HARMS INCLUDE EXCESSIVE USE OF ENERGY FROM THE ELECTRIC GRID, DRIVING UP COSTS FOR EVERYONE ELSE, EXCESSIVE USE OF WATER RESOURSES, AGAIN DRIVING UP COSTS FOR ALL. POLLUTION FROM THE INSTALLATION OF POWER PLANTS, EXCESS NOISE FROM THE POWER PLANTS AND GREENHOUSE GAS EMISSONS WHICH WILL CONTRIBUTE TO CLIMATE CHANGE. WE NEED SCRUTINY, REGULATIONS AND A PUBLIC ADVOCATE. WHAT’S GOOD FOR META MAY NOT BE WHAT’S GOOD FOR AMERICA. .
