Mayor O'Connell seeks eminent domain to stop data center near Nashville Zoo

Nashville's mayor is filing eminent domain legislation to allow Metro to take over the property where a data center is planned near the Nashville Zoo. This comes after more than 500,000 people signed a petition opposing the data center, over concerns that the animals at the zoo will be harmed. "Data centers consume enormous amounts of electricity and water; straining power grids, depleting natural resources, and damaging our watershed..." the petition says. https://fox17.com/news/local/nashville-zoo-proposed-ai-data-center-mayor-freddie-oconnell-seeks-eminent-domain-to-stop-648-grassmere-park-artificial-intelligence-brad-paisley-petition-dc-blox-davidson-county-tennessee _______________ Follow!
