With the rapid increase in technological advancement, it’s hard to ignore AI or go a day without it entering our lives. But, it’s coming with a cost. In Oregon, there are currently 137 data centers operating. Data centers are taking over land zoned exclusively for farming, and Oregon is no exception. We urge you to consider where your food comes from and the already high burden farms are facing with rising fuel and fertilizer costs when choosing to use AI.
Data Center Boom Leaves Rural America Shouldering the Costs Rural communities are being forced to give up farmland, strain local water and energy systems, and subsidize infrastructure built to serve tech corporations.
