Erin Brockovich Data Center Transparency Flawed from the Start - Common Sense Says No More Hidden Buildouts. Oh, here we go again. Another celebrity crusader waltzing in with her 'Erin Brockovich data center transparency' demands, and everyone loses their minds. I live three miles from the proposed site, and let me tell you, folks, common sense is dead. She's asking for the water usage permits and emissions reports, but what about the fact that these places run day and night, sucking up megawatts while our neighborhood substation is already humming like a beehive? The council approved this thing behind closed doors six months ago—no public hearings, just a rubber stamp. If you want real transparency, look at the traffic studies they hid. Those 18-wheelers will be running down our main road, grinding the pavement to dust. We don't need a movie star to tell us the air smells weird at night; we live it. Tell the developers to show the full environmental impact, not just the glossy brochure. That's the common sense these outsiders never get. Wheres the accountability for the noise and the light pollution? I say we flood the next meeting and make them read every line of those contracts aloud. My two cents.
