EcoAction Says No to Data Centers
The EcoAction Committee of the Green Party of the United States supports a ban on new large data centers (20 MW).
The influx of data centers, driven by generative artificial intelligence (AI) and the crypto boom, presents one of the biggest environmental and social threats of our generation. In this age, water resources are already stretched thin and fossil fuel pollution is at a dangerous all-time high. The rapid expansion of data centers, with their enormous appetite for water and power, exacerbates the problem, taking ecological degradation to a new level.

Why Nuclear is a False Climate Solution
The EcoAction Committee held a webinar on Nuclear is a False Climate Solution on Monday, July 14.
Nuclear power is pushing for a big revival both is the US and worldwide, partially on the false premise that it is carbon free – ignoring its carbon footprint from the construction of the plants (cement); the mining, processing, and transportation of its uranium fuel; and the hundreds of thousands of years to store it deadly radioactive waste.
