  1. AI Data Centers are toxic environmental waste dumps.

    They are the tech industry equivalent of the Coal Industry's surface mining leaving environmental and health problems in their wake, and that often walked away from the responsibility of environmental cleanup.

    The health and environmental impact of data centers include:
    - excessive CO2 emissions
    - air pollution and toxic chemical emissions including fine particulate matter
    - waste water emissions
    - e-waste
    - excessive water usage
    - excessive energy usage and impacts from energy generation

    Equally important, when the AI bubble bursts, we will be left with useless buildings and infrastructure that must be dealt with similar to the toxic waste from the mining industry.

    The AI industry can't be allowed to declare bankruptcy and walk away from a cleanup responsibility, leaving the burden of toxic waste cleanup to local communities, as did the mining industry.

    Laws on data center waste dumps are needed.

  10. @bojacobs Just found out there is a pro-nuclear fediverse instance that oxymoronically calls itself greennuclear.online which means they have to be intentionally ignorant of the toxic and extremely racist history of uranium mining and waste disposal.

    By Hiawatha Bray Globe Staff, March 17, 2026

    "Both Nth Cycle and Ascend have developed water-based technologies to extract metals by reprocessing 'black mass,' the ground-up remnants of worn-out #lithiumIon batteries. They can also use the leftover scrap generated by battery manufacturers. Both companies claim that their technologies can capture these metals while generating far less #ToxicWaste than other recycling methods."
