This is what drinking water in Georgia looks like after Meta began data center construction in the community. Today I called for EPA and Congressional investigations into the impact of data center construction on local drinking water supplies. We cannot take water for granted.

AOC: This is what drinking water in Georgia looks like after Meta began data center construction in the community.

Insane stat of the day: California almonds use roughly 3–5.5 million acre-feet of water per year, depending on methodology. That's ~4-7x more water than all data centers in North America used combined in 2025.

Texas, it is EXTREMELY important we take action here. They are going to drain our aquifers for data centers. Step by step instructions on how to get involved below.

This is very concerning and affecting all TEXANS. With the mad dash for AI data centers to pop up all over TX, our water is being targeted. 🚨RURAL WELL OWNERS: 🚨 PAY ATTENTION TO WHAT TEXAS LEGASLTURE IS PLANNING The 2027 Draft of the Texas Water Plan makes one thing very clear: Texas is preparing for massive future water demand and groundwater is a major target!!! Now is your turn to stand up and have your voices heard. The state is openly discussing: • groundwater development • streamlined permitting • desalination • aquifer storage • AI/data center demand • expanding infrastructure projects They are projecting nearly $174 BILLION in future water infrastructure needs. What does that mean for rural communities? It means places with strong aquifers, open land, and private wells are increasingly being looked at for large-scale groundwater production and export projects. Many people still think: “They can’t take our water.” But once contracts, pipelines, permits, and investors get involved, things change quickly. RIGHT NOW the state is accepting PUBLIC COMMENT on the Draft 2027 State Water Plan and this is one of the few chances rural Texans have to get concerns officially on record. 📍 PUBLIC HEARING: May 27, 2026 at 1:00 PM Stephen F. Austin Building 1700 North Congress Ave. Austin, Texas (Also available virtually through Microsoft Teams) 🗣 HOW TO SPEAK UP: • Submit written comments to the Texas Water Development Board before May 29 • Attend the public hearing in person or online • Contact your state representatives and groundwater district officials • Ask questions about groundwater export projects in your area • Educate your neighbors and fellow landowners If you care about: • your private well • water quality • aquifer depletion • agriculture • future generations NOW is the time to speak up. Because once these projects are built, it’s a whole lot harder to stop them.
