Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-Ga.) is sounding the alarm over the rapid expansion of artificial intelligence and voiced her concerns about an AI executive order President Donald Trump signed on Wednesday.
Greene also addressed the data centers being built across the country and pointed out on very crucial concern no one is talking about: these facilities use LOTS of water.
Her full statement, posted on X, is below:
I have many concerns about the AI Executive Order signed yesterday by President Trump.
While I understand the many promised benefits of AI, I remain committed to protecting state rights, human jobs, human lives, human rights, our environment and critical water supply.
My deep concerns are that the EO demands rapid AI expansion with little to no guardrails and breaks. It also contains the threat of withholding federal funds from states who regulate AI, which is an absolute threat to federalism and why I strongly opposed the AI state moratorium originally in the BBB.
Rushed AI expansion and data centers being built all over the country from state to state with no plan in regards to environmental and critical water supply impact has massive future implications and problems.
I’ve been in construction my entire life.
I can tell you firsthand, when you move dirt there is always an impact to the surrounding area.
When you build something that requires a HIGH water demand, it will always take water away from others – that means people, cities, businesses, and surrounding counties and states.
Data centers are like a black holes when it comes to water requirements. They consume massive amounts of water for cooling, literally millions of gallons per day.
If you know anything about the water wars between GA, TN, AL, and FLA, then you know states already fight each other over water supply. Counties fight each other over water supply and sue each other over PFAS/PFOS and other impacts.
Just wait and see how bad lawsuits will become when counties are competing for data centers, in order to get rid of county property taxes, and the unintended results is new data centers that steal the water from surrounding homes and neighboring counties and states.
Competing with China does not mean become like China by threatening state rights, replacing human jobs on mass scale creating mass poverty, and creating potentially devastating effects on our environment and critical water supply.
This needs a careful and wise approach. The AI EO takes the opposite.
