Data Centers: The Hidden Cost to Our Communities – Clear Sightings with Lynne Taylor

As artificial intelligence continues driving an unprecedented expansion of data centers across the United States, communities are being asked to host massive facilities with promises of jobs and economic growth. This episode of Clear Sightings with Lynne Taylor examines the often overlooked costs of these developments, including increased electricity demand, water consumption, infrastructure upgrades, land use changes, and the long-term impact on local residents. The discussion encourages viewers to look beyond the marketing claims and ask critical questions about transparency, accountability, public policy, and who ultimately bears the financial and environmental costs of supporting the nation’s digital infrastructure. Recent reporting has highlighted many of these same issues, including concerns about utility costs, water use, and the need for stronger community oversight before projects move forward.
