The emergence of artificial intelligence is driving an influx of hyperscale data center proposals in Wisconsin and across the nation. The implications will be significant for the environment and for our communities. Yet too often, these massive projects move forward with minimal public input and limited transparency.
At MEA, we’re working to change that. We believe Wisconsinites deserve transparency, meaningful engagement, and a real voice in decisions that will shape their future.
Today, Midwest Environmental Advocates is proud to announce the release of Big Tech Unchecked: A Toolkit for Community Action.
The toolkit is designed to help Wisconsinites understand the issues surrounding hyperscale data centers and what they can do to protect their communities. It was created in collaboration with our partners at Healthy Climate Wisconsin, the Sierra Club, and Wisconsin’s Greenfire. It’s packed with tools and resources that community members need to ask informed questions, evaluate project proposals, and engage with local officials.
