The speed of the build itself is stunning and just where do they get off having elected officials sign ndas? It will all be built before anyone even knows or understands.
all normal regulatory process is deep' sixed with NDAs which is an obvious circumvention of process. i thought China was awful but this matches it exactly.
We are no longer accepting a licensing process that allows for independent verification. how about a swift nuclear reactor build out?
in a way the old approcal protocols were organized around the glacial pace of actual real draftsmanship. Today AI can jump it all into a physical build overnight. soyes it is all speeding up.
Erin Brockovich Maps Data Centers Across US. She Explains How Tech Companies Infiltrate City Councils
https://needtoknow.news/2026/09/erin-brockovich-maps-data-centers-across-us-she-explains-how-tech-companies-infiltrate-city-councils/
Data centers are dependent on local governments for zoning and permits for construction and they are spending billions to build them across the US. Erin Brockovich is using data using community reports from the people to map data centers across the US, and her map shows 9,400 data centers so far (LINK for MAPD).
She told Theo Von that every state has been infested with data centers and that city councils may be duped into believing will increase jobs and commerce. However, data centers bring water shortages, higher energy bills, pollution, overuse of resources like trees, noise, etc. Some city council members sign non-disclosure agreements (NDAs) and refuse to give any information to their constituents. Some city councils have re-zoned areas or bent the rules for permitting.
Warning: some vulgar language
