"‘A Better Way To Be Relevant’: Greens Embrace Data Center Fight" [1]
"Opposition to the massive developments has given environmental groups a new rallying cause — and fundraising pitch."
"The nation’s biggest green groups have joined the fray over data centers — and they’re starting to notch some victories after 18 months of stinging environmental setbacks under the Trump administration.
Groups including the Sierra Club, the Natural Resources Defense Council, Earthjustice, and Food and Water Watch are ramping up national campaigns, activating volunteers in states and providing support for local fights against the massive artificial intelligence facilities that are spreading across the country.
Their strategy is aimed at engaging with voters where they are most focused, and it could help generate new enthusiasm — as well as a stream of fresh funding — from progressive backers who have been far less aggressive in fighting for environmental causes than they were during the first Trump administration."
