Erin Brockovich Launches Map Tracking 9,683 Community Reports on AI Data Centers
Brockovich AI Datacenter Reporting: AI Data Centers Across the United States
Erin Brockovich's new interactive map plots major U.S. AI data centers—139 operational, 166 under construction, 39 permitted, 175 proposed, and 26 cancelled—alongside 9,683 concerns submitted by residents. It highlights energy and water consumption, e-waste, noise, and location risks, and distinguishes city from county zoning authority. The map draws on Compute Atlas, Epoch AI, news reports, and public filings, inviting anyone to report a missing facility.
The race to build AI infrastructures is unfolding town by town across America. In some places, data centers are welcomed. In others, they are delayed, contested or abandoned altogether.
