Don’t have a hyperscale data center yet—lucky you! Keep this toolkit in your back pocket or send them into your planning commissions, water districts, etc. so they can be prepared.
Then ask them ALL the questions! If you’ve got a data center presentation coming up ask in public comment or write a letter. Anyone can ask these questions included elected officials!
Learn about the basics of hyperscale data center cooling and why they are so water and electricity intensive:
Is there a #hyperscale #datacenter coming in h🥵t into your community touting endless “economic benefits”??
AllAi Consulting and I created this Data Center Toolkit to not only help people better understand but equip them with all the right questions. Get those receipts on the public record!

😂 and like.... the biggest question I have right now is why aren't Dems bringing this energy and endurance for when something is actually on the floor for vote/debate?
#speeches < #filibuster
It was the longest speech in history indeed but it wasn’t a filibuster as there was nothing on the floor to vote on, the committee carried on their business he didn’t stop anything —but if this tactic was used during a senate nominee or bill then it would’ve been a 🔥🔥🔥 filibuster
🙋🏻♀️❓Why aren’t Dems deploying these tactics when it actually counts for something??
The longest speech in history goes to @booker.senate.gov
HOWEVER, the Senate Committee still did their business today. NOTHING was stopped.
Now if this was let’s say when the senate had a bill or a nominee, then that would be a filibuster.
The REAL WIN tonight goes to the people of Wisconsin 👏👏👏👏

While it’s not new, it’s definitely of the moment. Our local government/governance structures will be the frontlines of democracy going into 2025.
Questions to ask ourselves in 2025:
“What does self-determination look like for our communities, our towns, our cities in the face of authoritarianism? Who is governing? What are the policies we need?” - @jadebegay.bsky.social
