Erin Brockovich takes aim at data center secrecy

Erin Brockovich launched a public U.S. data center map built from community reports.

She says she has received thousands of submissions, many focused on secrecy and lack of transparency.

People are especially concerned about how projects are announced, permitted, and managed.

The effort aims to increase scrutiny of data center development and pressure officials and companies to share more about environmental and community impacts.
