The AI centre that is being proposed to be built in Invercargill will reduce water supply, increase power use, destroy wildlife and make life harder for everyone, water prices will skyrocket, power bills will increase to keep up, the AI centre being built uses as much power as it takes to power wellington. We need to stop this from happening or get it shut down. AI is ruining our environment as we speak. Our government spent 5.1 billion dollars building this. This money could of gone towards bettering our roads, healthcare, education system and more. Do not let our greedy government destroy our life's. We need to take action and make change. Our government only cares about money, they disregard our safety and quality of life. 

It is Datagrid’s $5.1b Southland data centre.

Me and a friend have applied a petition to NZ parliament, when it is approved I will link it here. 

Here is some Links to information about the AI centre. Please be aware and not let these people ruin us and our way of life.
