0:41Now PlayingErin Brockovich joins Jim Acosta to expose how Big Tech giants Amazon, Google, and Meta are quietly building AI data centers across America while electricity bills in affected communities have surged as much as 267% — and city councils are being silenced with NDAs before residents even know what's being built.
Through a crowdsourced map drawing more than 5,000 reports from nearly every state, Brockovich is documenting a nationwide pattern of spiking power bills, water shortages, and health impacts, as 68 communities have already moved to block or restrict data centers.
With the Trump administration fast-tracking permits and stripping environmental review to accelerate the AI infrastructure boom, and electricity costs emerging as the defining affordability issue of the 2026 midterms, Brockovich says the price of Big Tech's AI race is landing directly on your power bill — and she's not letting them hide it.
