Erin Brockovich Launches Platform to Track Environmental Impact of US AI Data Centres
Erin Brockovich, the environmental activist known for exposing water contamination in the 1990s, has launched a public platform tracking AI-focused data centres across the US. The website, BrockovichDataCenter.com, crowdsources reports on operational and planned centres, highlighting concerns such as high electricity and water use, electronic waste, noise pollution, and local infrastructure strain. While communities debate these impacts, the platform aims to promote awareness and sustainable development without calling for bans.
