Erin Brockovich launched http://brockovichdatacenter.com (around late April 2026) — an interactive map of U.S. AI data centers (operational, under-construction, proposed) with overlaid resident-reported issues.
In the first week or so, it received over 1,600 complaints (numbers reached ~1,800+ from 47 states shortly after), covering water usage, utility bill increases, 24/7 noise, e-waste, and related concerns. The site lets people submit reports with photos and details.
