‘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."

💧 Beyond Diffusion: Groundwater as a Rock–Fluid System
Contaminant plumes in groundwater are often seen as passive — just diffusion and advection through porous media.
But what if we treat them as active geochemical fronts instead?In my recent modeling work, I describe contamination not as a mechanical process, but as a metasomatic transformation — a reaction zone between aggressive mine waters and carbonate aquifers.
Each sector of the aquifer develops its own thermodynamic balance and mineral stability field.
The plume itself becomes a chemical engine — reshaping host rocks, opening new pathways, and shifting the entire water–rock equilibrium.📘 Draft monograph: https://zenodo.org/records/16741148

#PenobscotNation citizens rally in opposition to proposed expansion of #JuniperRidgeLandfill
Jul. 18, 2025
OLD TOWN/ALTON, #Maine (WABI) - "Penobscot Nation citizens rallied across the Penobscot County court Friday afternoon in opposition to a proposed expansion to Maine’s largest #landfill.
"The rally was in response to the #ConservationLawFoundation and the Penobscot Nation appealing an expansion to #JuniperRidgeLandfill, which will allow #CasellaWasteSystems to expand Juniper Ridge by 11.9 million cubic yards.
"According to members of the #WabanakiAlliance, the expansion would pose a threat to surrounding #TribalLands due to concerns of air and #WaterPollution surrounding the #PenobscotRiver from the landfill.
"Speakers at the rally represented citizens of the Penobscot Nation, the Wabanaki Alliance, as well as the environmental groups #Slingshot and #DontWasteME.
" 'It is incredibly powerful to see the number of people out here in opposition to this expansion and support of this appeal. We know the time for #EnvironmentalJustice is now. We need to turn the tide towards #ZeroWaste,' said #DanaColihan, Co-Executive Director of environmental group Slingshot.
" 'I just hope that the state can get serious about actual environmental justice, and Casella can implement some practices that it make it so that they don’t have to bring out of state waste to stabilize our sludge, and really find solutions instead of creating more problems with us,' stated #MaulianBryant, Executive Director of the Wabanaki Alliance."

UC Riverside: New computer language helps spot hidden pollutants. “Developed at UC Riverside, Mass Query Language, or MassQL, functions like a search engine for mass spectrometry data, enabling researchers to find patterns that would otherwise require advanced programming skills. Technical details about the language, and an example of how it helped identify flame retardant chemicals in public […]

If you are an #EU citizen, please support this initiative for a #EuropeanEnvironmentAuthority and share it with others too.
It's not just about #climateChange , one reason it was started was to stop the destruction that happened at the Fertő lake from happening again anywhere else.
