If AI Data Centers Are So Great, Why Are They Being Built in Secret?

# Summary Erin Brockovich reports receiving thousands of complaints from residents across 49 states about AI data centers being built in their communities with little to no transparency or community input, with residents citing concerns about water usage, power consumption, health impacts, and lack of notification about major projects. Major projects like Meta's 4-million-square-foot facility in Louisiana and Google's multibillion-dollar campus in Arkansas are being constructed with minimal community involvement, raising questions about why such beneficial projects require secrecy. The widespread pattern of complaints suggests a national transparency problem in how AI data center development is being handled by tech companies and local officials.
