Summary
El Paso residents are rallying against Meta’s massive data center, staging a “Block Party Protest” to demand accountability—warning that promises of economic gain mask serious environmental threats like water waste, heat, and pollution. With the facility potentially using 2.5 million gallons of water daily and utilities dodging key details, locals fear history repeats itself: tech giants make bold claims but leave communities to clean up. Even a top Democratic candidate joined the chorus, calling these centers “water hogs” unfit for arid regions. The message is clear: pause, reconsider, and protect the land and people from corporate overreach. Listen in comfort: Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
