It really bums me out that these mega corps can't spend a little to ensure nearby residents are not left worse off. Maybe you can't fix the water wells, but perhaps you can just pay for a filtration system for nearby residents. All in all a fraction of a penny compared to costs of raising these data centres in just a few months


'I can't drink the water' - life next to a US data centre.


"The water is on fire" - life next to a US fracking well.


Don't forget the earthquakes too.
