    ‘I’ve Never Seen This’: Massive Collapse in Support for #AIDataCenters Captured in New Poll

    “If you can think of a cohort of Americans, there’s a good chance they wouldn’t welcome a #datacenter in their area.”

    Brad Reed, Aug 20, 2026

    "A poll released on Thursday shows a massive collapse in support for building #ArtificialIntelligence #DataCenters among #Republican, #Democratic, and #IndependentVoters.

    "The poll, which was conducted by Embold Research and published by Heatmap Pro, shows that 75% of Americans now oppose building AI data centers in their area, including 61% registering strong opposition."

    "Just one year before, 42% of Americans said they opposed AI data centers in their areas, compared with 43% who expressed support."

  25. Water Pollution in Uganda: Our Responsibility
    Water is life, yet Uganda’s rivers, lakes, wetlands, and other water sources are increasingly threatened by pollution. Plastic waste, untreated sewage, industrial chemicals, agricultural runoff, and poor waste disposal are contaminating water and harming people, fish, wildlife, and ecosystems.
    Water pollution also affects communities that depend on fishing, farming, and clean water for their daily lives. When we pollute our water sources, we are not only damaging nature—we are putting our own future at risk.
    Protecting Uganda’s water requires action from everyone. Authorities should enforce environmental laws and improve waste and wastewater management. Communities can help by avoiding dumping waste into drains, rivers, lakes, and wetlands, reducing plastic use, and joining environmental clean-up activities
    But what is the biggest cause of water pollution in your community, and what can we do together to stop it?

    Who are the key figures in the #Sewage crisis, and where are they now?

    "Water companies have been in the public eye for the wrong reasons again recently. #SouthWestWater was in the dock pleading guilty to supplying water unfit for human consumption, while the regulator fined South East Water £22.5m for repeated supply failures that affected more than 280,000 people over three years.

    "As the full scale of the sewage pollution scandal has been revealed to the public over the past six years, key figures working for the regulators and the #privatised companies have been heavily criticised. Channel 4’s drama Dirty Business has focused attention on individuals at the heart of the scandal.

    "The Guardian examined what some of the main characters are doing today."

    Bentley was the chief executive of #ThamesWater from September 2020 to June 2023. She joined from Severn Trent and promised an eight-year turnaround for the company, but left with immediate effect after three years following a public outcry over the discharge of #RawSewage into #rivers and missing targets on pollution and sewer flooding."
