Rep. Ocasio-Cortez questions EPA on data center impact on Georgia drinking water

AOC held up these murky, disgusting jars of “drinking water” as she questioned EPA water official, Jessica Kramer, in Congress about whether the rapid expansion of AI data centers is affecting drinking water quality and supply across the U.S. She says she got the jars of water during a recent visit she made to rural Georgia near a large Meta data center site. She claims residents reported water problems tied to heavy construction and blasting activity. Ocasio-Cortez asked Kramer whether the EPA planned to investigate how data center construction could impact local water systems, including both availability and safety. Kramer told her the agency would look into it. This comes as federal officials push to fast-track approvals for new data centers powering the AI boom. #aoc #alexandriaocasiocortez #EPA #environmentalprotection #drinkingwater #shorts
