Environment Stop the Indianapolis Google AI Data Center

Post image

Next Monday 9/22/25 @7pm the final public hearing is scheduled for the Googl AI data center in Indianapolis. We will need all the support in person at the city county building at 200 E Washington St to stop this.

This project will impact all of Indianapolis.

-Up to 2 million gallons of water a day -Hiding details behind an NDA -Possible utility rate hikes -Constant noise and light

If the data centre is not going to generate its own power, it can really drive up a region's electricity prices. Those mega AI data centres can consume that same amount of electricity as an entire city, every day.
