Data Centers In Urban New Jersey
Since 2024, data centers have taken the world by storm. Urban New Jersey is no exception, as multiple town councils have approved data centers in recent years. If your town is considering adding a data center, attending council meetings is the primary way to protest them.
There are several major ramifications to having data centers in neighborhoods, according to the environmental action and justice organization Climate Revolution Action Network. According to CRAN and backed by research, data centers have helped raise power bills by 20-30% because they consume the energy equivalent of 100,000 houses, cause both noise and air pollution, and use so much water (300,000-5,000,000 gallons a day) that they overwhelm local infrastructure.
“Tech companies promise that AI will transform our workforce and economy for the better,” CRAN said on their website. “But that’s not what we’re experiencing. Instead, they’re raising bills, disrupting communities, and damaging our environment.”
