We are surrounded by ordinary people doing extraordinary things. These works of courage, selflessness, and kindness toward others and the environment are what make us stronger. PennFuture is an organization of heroes dedicated to sharing real information about topics like warehouses and data centers that we can use to make the best decisions for our communities. They've even created a series of bite-sized videos about data centers that break down a complex topic into an easy-to-understand format. Here are links to the videos:
What is a Data Center?, Inside a Data Center, Data Centers' Water Usage, and my personal favorite, Why is my electricity bill so high? This information is critical for Carbon County because the Lehigh River is the engine that powers our economy, enjoyment, and environment, and any threat to the Lehigh River is a direct threat to all of us. In addition to their ravenous thirst, data centers require vast amounts of electricity to power the computers and massive HVAC systems to ensure a computer-friendly climate. Please take the time to watch the videos and learn more - we must raise our concerns to our community leaders. Staying silent implies agreement with the terrible cost of Data Centers on our health, our pocketbooks, and our environment.
