Erin Brockovich vs. Data Center Secrecy: Map of Community Complaints

Colleagues, a quick update from the data‑center front: Erin Brockovich has launched a site mapping facilities and aggregating local complaints.
Key points:
- The project crowdsources reports on issues around data centers; following an April appeal it received nearly 4,000 submissions.
- Primary complaint is lack of transparency: projects are disclosed only after permits are issued, negotiations occur under NDAs, and developers often do not engage with communities.
- Brockovich says she opposes secrecy—not data centers or AI.
Why it matters: infrastructure decisions affect water, noise, tariffs and community trust.
What transparency mechanisms should be implemented?
