FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
How do I figure out who to contact at my local government?
Here’s a handy website for finding your local elected officials. Sometimes your local government will have a contact form directly on their website too.
What should I do after I receive a response?
What to do next ultimately depends on your local government’s response. If they’ve already done something, then maybe consider helping a nearby community. If they haven’t, start first with advocating for a memorandum on AI data centers since it’s the easiest way for your community to take action.
Make plans to attend a public meeting to voice your concerns and advocate for your local government to take action during the public comment period. These meetings are much less daunting when you attend with a friend or family member, and elected officials are more likely to listen to you if you come in a group.
How do I give a public comment?
First you need to sign up to give a public comment – sometimes this is required beforehand so make sure you check in advance. Prepare a note either on your phone or a piece of paper with everything you want to say. Keep it short and concise. Just make sure to mention that you want your local government to not allow AI data centers.
Continue to attend these meetings and ask your neighbors to do the same until your elected officials do something. I recommend bringing a book or a quiet craft to keep yourself occupied during these meetings since public comments typically happen at the end.
What data can I provide to say that AI data centers are harmful?
Check out these resources for a bunch of talking points:
MIT News explores the environmental and sustainability implications of generative AI technologies and applications.
The demand for data centers is growing faster than our ability to mitigate their skyrocketing economic and environmental costs
Are your chats with AI fueling the climate crisis? Are your chats with Artificial Intelligence fueling the Climate Crisis?
The rapid growth of data centers, with their enormous energy and water demands, requires targeted policy interventions to mitigate environme
If you live in an area where there’s a proposed data center, I highly recommend this toolkit that was put together by the community in Menominee WI. Note: You will have to copy and paste it because tumblr automatically blocks it from being linked or uploaded.
for those who are worried about jules aka pukestains - they deactivated their account and won't be back for a while (this could be anywhere between a couple days to a couple months to even years). her mental health was not doing good, so he is taking an indefinite hiatus away from tumblr unless shown otherwise. she'll call on us when/if she is ready!
