Friday, August 21, 2026
Tea Party founder Jenny Beth Martin's Humans First group announced a bus tour called the "Data Center Revolt" to oppose AI data center expansion in various regions. The group argues that local residents bear costs of data center development, including increased electricity demand and water usage, while receiving limited direct benefit. Martin's organization plans to visit multiple states to mobilize opposition to proposed data center projects.
