Erin Brockovich is now tracking more than 5,000 concerns about AI data centers.

The environmental activist has launched a nationwide tracker showing where AI data centers are operating, under construction, proposed, or drawing concern from nearby communities.

And the reports are pouring in.

Brockovich’s project had just over 3,000 community reports on June 2. By June 9, that number had climbed past 5,000.

The concerns are not abstract.

People are reporting worries about electricity demand, water use, noise, local infrastructure, electronic waste, flooding risks and the pressure these facilities can place on towns that were never built for them.

Data centers are the physical backbone of artificial intelligence. Every chatbot response, AI image, cloud service and video model depends on buildings packed with servers running around the clock.

But keeping those servers online takes enormous resources.

Large data centers can use up to 5 million gallons of water a day, roughly the daily water use of a town of 10,000 to 50,000 people, according to the Environmental and Energy Study Institute.

They also consume a growing share of U.S. electricity. The Department of Energy says data centers used about 4.4 percent of all U.S. electricity in 2023, and could rise to between 6.7 and 12 percent by 2028.

That is why local backlash is growing.

Some cities and counties have already moved to pause or restrict new data centers while they study the impact on water, power grids and household utility bills.

Seattle approved a one-year moratorium. Some communities in Kentucky, California and Georgia have taken similar steps.
