Make Big Tech Pay for Their Data Centers!
Tech companies led by billionaire CEOs and investors are on a relentless campaign to build sprawling data centers in your backyard. Why? To power the infrastructure needed for their massive AI businesses.
As the cost of living continues to skyrocket, some of the most profitable corporations in the world want everyday Americans to pay for their expansions.
Utility companies and local governments can stop Big Tech from tacking on their costs to our energy bills. Sign the petition to make Big Tech pay for their data centers!
Why is this important?
Data centers can use more energy than entire cities, and Big Tech’s rapid AI expansion is driving up energy costs for everyone. Utility bills are soaring because tech firms are pushing the cost of powering mega data center operations onto residential customers.
The rampant growth of data centers isn’t just raising our monthly utility bills—it’s draining local energy, robbing communities of natural resources, imposing new health risks for nearby residents, and only helping to make tech billionaires even richer. And too often they pop up without any consent from local communities.
American families are struggling to put food on the table and pay rising health care costs as it is. They can’t afford to also foot the bill for Big Tech. It’s time to stop passing the environmental consequences and costs of data centers onto working people.
