🚫🗣 NO MORE AI DATA CENTERS IN PLANO!
According to the Texas Tribune, a data center "gold rush" is currently underway throughout the lone star state. 335 centers have already been built, and an additional 248 are at some stage of the approval process. All of this, despite the overwhelming body of evidence illustrating the dangers these behemoths pose to the environment, the energy grid, and local quality of life.
Plano has been at the forefront of the data center boom. A number of hyperscale centers already exist, with a new 72 megawatt campus currently being constructed on North Star Road. Our city council has welcomed this Big Tech takeover with open arms, even going so far as to offer tax incentives to companies like CoreWeave.
In light of Plano's existing infrastructure and surplus of unused office space, more data centers will undoubtedly come to the city given our current trajectory. Unless, of course, the community stands up to say NO.
This is why we demand an immediate moratorium on data center development in the City of Excellence. We demand that our leaders listen to the concerns of their constituents. And we demand that they put people over profits.
