Data centers are huge warehouses full of computer servers and other computer equipment that powers artificial intelligence and other technologies. Oftentimes, as is the case here in Montana, instead of one large warehouse, data center proposals are actually multi-hundred or multi-thousand acre campuses with a ton of infrastructure sprawling across it. For example, Quantica is proposing a data center project in Broadview (30 miles north of Billings) that would cover 5,000 acres.

All across the country people are organizing, fighting back, and refocusing the conversation on the health of everyday people and our communities. From Tennessee, to Virginia, to Tucson, diverse coalitions are building power together and are successfully resisting what some say was inevitable. The power needed to push back comes from Montanans coming together. If you are interested in getting involved in this fight, let us know!
