## Resource

A grassroots group called No Data Centers in Kansas held a summit to arm local communities with the facts about hyperscale data centers—revealing their massive energy and water demands, land use, and potential risks near schools and hospitals. They’re pushing for thoughtful, locally-driven decisions, urging officials to prioritize community needs over corporate interests, and advocating for smart regulations to protect Kansas towns from unchecked development.
