Data Centers: A Hidden Cost for Land, Water, and Energy

A new report from the Spanish publication *La Marea* questions the promises made by data center promoters. While these companies present data centers as engines for progress and job creation, the report argues that their main feature is secrecy. In reality, data centers consume large amounts of land, water, and energy, causing negative impacts on the local areas where they are built. Promoters, the report claims, cannot support their positive claims with solid evidence.
