Opposition against Data Centers in the Central Valley

PROGRAM #11247 11:00 AM PT

Opposition against Data Centers in the Central Valley. 

Residents of Tulare County are pushing back against the construction of artificial intelligence data centers. A corporate project has the community alarmed over threats of air, water, and noise pollution, as well as excessive strain on the electrical grid and rising utility bills. What are Tulare residents denouncing? What does the controversial project entail? And why, even as corporations promise development and jobs, does the community feel threatened?

Guests: Joe Delgado, Organizing Director, Power California, Long Beach, CA; Rodolfo Morales-Ayon, Resident of Tulare County, Pixley, CA.
