The NEW COVID? Hyperscale Data Centers and the Hidden Risk to Rural America | 6/04/26

Big Tech and politicians are rushing to build massive, gigawatt AI data centers across rural America under the guise of an "arms race with China." But what is the true cost to our environment, our economy, and our health?In this episode, I sit down with senior industrial hygienist Kristen Meghan Kelly to expose the unprecedented rollout of hyperscale AI data centers. Kelly, along with Tammy Clark, helped me lead the fight against hazardous uses of COVID masks, and now they are leading the fight against the new COVID clamor — the shaming of rural America into ceding its land for a fake arms race. She breaks down the suppressed environmental and biological hazards of this fear-driven grift — from the neurological impacts of tonal noise (infrasound) and local aquifer depletion to severe light pollution, heat islands, and toxic particulate matter (PM2.5) from diesel generators. We are once again being asked to sacrifice our way of life for fake fear porn led by Big Tech grifters. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
