Keep AI Data Centers out of Idaho!

The Issue

AI data centers are being proposed all over the country and are already causing poor water pressure and water quality for the American people. Many are proposed to be built in Idaho.

We are learning that these data centers are causing hot spots at about 2 degrees warmer in the areas where they are built. The dry state of Idaho is at major risk for drought, as more data centers are approved to be built in our highland desert climate. About 300 miles away from Boise, a 40,000-acre data center is approved to start construction amidst massive local disapproval in Utah. Not only will Idaho data centers cause us more harm than good, but the surrounding states' centers will start to impact us as well.

Make your voice heard today before it is too late--get AI data centers out of Idaho. They will steal our land, farms, communities, and water all for the purpose of profit. We are not guaranteed economic gains from these proposed data centers, and we will likely suffer the consequences of staying quiet if nothing is done. Help Idaho remain green and beautiful, community-driven and agriculturally strong. Do not let the industrial revolution of AI steal from you and your family. Join other Idahoans in bringing AI development to a halt in the wonderful land of Idaho. 

We are giving too much power to an unknown technology and wasting our resources and brains while we use it. AI uses up our water, land, and money. It is being programmed to replace working people at their jobs. It takes more than it gives; it was made with unclear intentions beyond creating false intelligence in the image of mankind. It makes us more mentally dull and allows us to be lazier every time we use it, rather than using our own creativity. It is currently being made for profit instead of people, and it spreads misinformation. Its advanced techniques are being used for hacking sensitive personal data, leaving us more at risk than ever before. It takes up massive amounts of space, which strips us of land that could be used for housing, livestock, farmland, preservation, recreation, or, quite literally, anything more useful than AI prompts. AI needs to be heavily regulated and, in many cases, banned. The use of AI has consequences beyond our comprehension and needs to be treated as such.
