Do This: Look up data centers where you live

Sep 10, 2026 | Easy A, Healthy Shouldn't Be This Hard

U.S. Data Centers Tracker: Look up data centers near you.

Data centers are popping up all over the country, but the majority of Americans don’t want them in our community. That’s because we know that data centers pollute our air, use up our water supply, and increase our electricity bills — all without adding anything to the local economy.

Earn your Easy A this week by finding out if you have a data center near you, or if one is on the way.

Use this interactive U.S. Data Centers Tracker from FracTracker Alliance to look up data centers in your area. You can see if a data center has been proposed, approved, or blocked near you, or if any are already operating, expanding, or under construction.

No matter what you find out, if you have more time and want to learn more about how to advocate against data centers in your community, you can watch the recording of our recent event with the AI Now Institute: What You Need to Know: AI Data Centers in Your Community, or bookmark it in case you ever need the information in the future!

Together, we can stay informed and hold Big Tech responsible for their impact on our communities.
