Environmental Litigation Against Data Center Expansion

AI data centers are landing in rural communities faster than the law can keep up, bringing gas turbines, strained water supplies, rising utility bills, and approvals rushed through behind closed doors. The people living next door are fighting back, and they have good lawyers on their side.

Join the Columbia Environmental Law Society, the Society for AI and the Law, and the PI/PS Office for a conversation with Mandy DeRoche (Earthjustice) and Kasey Moraveck (Southern Environmental Law Center) on the pending litigation challenging the data center boom and what it takes to stand up for the communities in its path. This is the first in a three-part series on the environmental impact of artificial intelligence. The following two events in the spring will address regulatory approaches and sustainable development!
