AI data center demand got so intense that in 2025, three major regional grids proposed emergency rules just to accommodate the influx.

Some even created fast-track programs and “Bring Your Own Generation” options.

⚡️Where Does the Privacy Line Stop?

Hakeem recently sat down with Oto Gomes to talk about how surveillance has changed since the Snowden disclosures. Today, sensitive location data can be bought from commercial data brokers without following the traditional warrant process people associate with government surveillance.

And location is only one layer. As our devices collect more about our bodies and lives, the real question is: where do we draw the line?

Want to see how much water a data center might use?

Visit our interactive AI Data Center Map, click on a hyperscale data center (the black triangles), then hit the info icon next to Est. Water/Day to see the estimate.

Everyone needs to see this.

See who's being "transparent" and who's hiding the data.

We've read and reviewed the sustainability reports published in 2025, covering resource use in 2024, so you don't have to.

And we broke them all down in Chapter 7 of our AI Data Center Ecology Report.

If you’re concerned about the increase in data centers around the world, this report is for you.
