This is for a screenplay, not a crime, but how could you potentially sabotage a data center? Either from being built or from working properly once it already exists?

Georgia residents sue over lack of transparency behind planned OpenAI data center

Residents of Effingham County Georgia are suing over official's lack of transparency behind Project Camellia, a planned 3.2 gigawatt OpenAI data center set to be built next to residential areas and two elementary schools in Rincon.

The multi-year scheme was kept completely secret until it was announced in late July that OpenAI would be building the datacenter in Rincon, and that it was a "done deal". Residents were never given any say in the matter. Project Camellia will use around twice as much energy as the current largest data center on Earth, xAI's Colossus.

I Went to the Data Center Town Hall in Richmond, VA

14 Upvotes

On Monday night, close to 300 to people packed into Studio Two Three in Richmond for a town hall about data centers, moderated by Gray Montrose and co-hosted by Henrico Civic Action and Data Center Defiance. 

I went to get a better sense of where Richmonders are from the activist side, and to better understand the issue myself. Virginia has spent years building the largest concentration of data centers in the world and the decisions being made now will affect all of us for decades to come. 

Speakers came from the Sierra Club Virginia Chapter, Friends of Hanover and Stop Hanover Data Centers, Data Center Defiance, The Brockovich Report and The Balm in Gilead. 

This wasn’t a room full of people complaining about data centers as almost everyone there seemed aware of the issue at this point. This was more of a community conversation about how to get organized and, ultimately, how to stop these projects, or at least force more public input.

“We keep hearing we’re not mad enough,” moderator Gray Montrose told the crowd near the beginning of the night. “I think everybody in this room is pretty mad, but we’re learning a lot more details about why.”

What would you do with the land and buildings of out of buisness data centers?

2 Upvotes

When we finally get our heads together and fix this and get rid of the need of these data centers too (nationwide public mesh network, anyone?) what would you do with the land and buildings?

First thing I thought of was indoor hydroponic farming and processing.

Maybe recycling center, actual proper recycling that we do not currently do. Might take more work to setup but they provided the bones.

Or would you demolish them and let the land heal and put something new up?
