Data Centers: National Pause Urged
Update: 2025-12-08
Description
Over two hundred environmental groups are advocating for a national halt on new data centers in the U.S., citing increased electricity bills and worsening climate crisis. Groups like Greenpeace and Friends of the Earth urge Congress to act, highlighting the centers massive energy and water demands. The push comes as tech giants invest billions into new data centers for AI, with at least sixteen projects stopped or delayed due to local opposition. The issue has become a significant political concern, with candidates focusing on lowering power bills and controlling data center expansion winning recent elections. Environmental groups stress that while climate change is crucial, the immediate impact on power bills is what concerns most voters.
