Toxic skies, water shortages, energy blackouts, asthma rates skyrocketing ... this sounds like it's out of an apocalyptic novel. The scary truth is that Mayor and Council will be voting on an AI data center that will harm our ability to live in Tucson. If the city votes to annex land for the project (and it is not just one data center, it is 3) then we can look to other places like Memphis and Northern Virginia, where people don't have tap water, where the sky is full of toxic particulate, and medical-care costs are ramping up due to respiratory illness and we can see our future. There is absolutely no reason that a desert city like Tucson should be supporting a project that takes 1.4 million gallons of water each day, each data center. There is no reason why we should lose our ability to cool our ÃÛÁÄÖ±²¥ in the summer because of the energy needs of a data center. Join us and stop this.
