Any interest in one place/platform to discuss all things AI data center? (Meta & Ft Bliss)

There is a national FB group (Say No to Data Centers) and a Texas FB group (Texans United Against Data Centers), as well as various city specific groups. I would like one platform to share all El Paso info (as well as info from other places that has been effective), but would prefer not to use FB. As things are now, I read posts here, on Nextdoor, IG, FB - it's exhausting and I know I'm missing things. Would Reddit be the right platform? Bluesky? Discord? Other? What's difficult is FB is old and well known and easy to use....appreciate any opinions.

St Charles MO has changed land use rules so that data centers cannot be built. Wonder if this is possible in El Paso?

St Charles MO is across the Missouri River from St Louis.

You can meet your neighbors. There will also be Sembrando Esperanza petitions if you're interested in signing.

Nearly half of children in US are breathing dangerous levels of pollution.

"The report also highlighted datacenters as a growing source of air pollution. In recent years, datacenters have consumed roughly 4.4% of total US electricity, a figure that could rise to as much as 12% within the next decade.

Their impact stems largely from reliance on regional electricity grids where fossil fuels such as methane gas and coal still account for a large portion of generation, the report said. In addition, many datacenters use dozens of large diesel-powered backup generators, which emit carcinogenic particulate matter."

Crowdsourcing opinions re buttons against the data center.

I'm having some buttons made. 2-1/4" diameter. I like the phrase "in our desert" but don't like how this looks. Not a designer.... should I just remove "in our desert"? Or any other ideas? The int'l "no" will be red.

Center in NE. One to EP Water, one to PUC, one to city/county. Must be in black ink in person.... DM me - I'll arrange for you to get one, or contact SE 915.525.3952 or 915.525.3999.

District 2 residents literally yelled at the mayor last night to break the contract. It was awesome to see.
