Community Action: Protect from Data Center Harms
Big Tech corporations are lining up to cash in on the race to build AI data centers across Illinois, ignoring local communities' concerns and snapping up dangerously large amounts of water and energy without paying their fair share. These energy- and water-intensive facilities are already increasing home utility bills, polluting our air, straining our water supply, and threatening Illinois' climate goals–and many more are coming.
Illinoisans deserve good neighbors who pay their fair share and contribute more to our communities than they take. The POWER Act (SB4016/HB5513) will drive a competitive "race to the top" for responsible data centers with nation-leading guardrails that protect our water, energy, ratepayers, and frontline communities.
👉 Urge your legislators in the Illinois General Assembly to co-sponsor and vote “yes” on the POWER Act in the November veto session to protect our water, energy, and ratepayers from data center harms.
