There are these data centers that use minimal amounts of electricity and don't need millions of gallons of water, to cool them. They're called libraries.

Hear from Third Act Lawyers, Public Citizen, and Food & Water Watch on how to campaign locally to halt the rapid expansion of AI-driven data centers. thirdact.org/events/stop-...

Energy-hungry data centers and the use of unregulated AI are spiking electricity costs, guzzling water unsustainably, driving more fossil fuel pollution, and worsening the climate crisis. Tell your members of Congress: No New Data Centers! Pass the AI Data Center Moratorium Act.

If I'm doing the math correctly, Musk's big pay packet yesterday could have made each of these now-dead people millionaires instead. He is among the sickest men the world has ever produced.

As it turns out, America prefers #democracy Congrats to everyone who helped make this moment possible! 🌎💚
