Greene: Trump’s AI order ignores ‘massive’ water usage of data centers

UNITED STATES, JUL 24 – Marjorie Taylor Greene highlights environmental risks and water shortages caused by AI data centers, citing Bloomberg's report on their immense daily water consumption in drought-prone regions.

  • Recently, Greene broke from Trump to oppose his AI order, criticizing its environmental and state rights impacts in a post on X.
  • On Wednesday, President Donald Trump signed an executive order that eased data center construction on federal lands and threatened to withhold federal funds from states regulating AI.
  • Data from Bloomberg shows AI data centers consume immense amounts of water, with many in southern Arizona and central Texas straining local supplies.
  • Anticipated legal battles could arise, as counties may compete for data centers to avoid property taxes, triggering lawsuits over water rights.
  • Future projections suggest, Bloomberg reported, that local communities may soon compete with data center operators to access clean water, highlighting environmental challenges.
