Arizona residents oppose data centers amid impending water cuts

Tucson residents, led by Marisol Winfrey Herrera, oppose two large data centers collectively known as Project Blue, citing concerns over water consumption amid a severe drought.

Activists warn that higher energy demands may lead to increased utility rates and exacerbate the region’s already rising temperatures.
