Albert Pinto @70sbachchan.bsky.social · 14/12/2025"Ppl are already fighting hard to keep data centers out of their communities..plants & data centers still have to go through permitting processes, land-use hearings, public testimony& approvals. They’re capital-intensive & take time to build" www.truthdig.com/articles/the... bsky.app/profile/sand...Senator Bernie Sanders@sanders.senate.govMark Zuckerberg is building a data center in Louisiana that will use 3x more electricity than all of New Orleans. Oligarchs want YOU to pay for these data centers with higher water & electric bills. Americans must fight back against billionaires who put profits over people. 192
