There’s a proposal for an AI data centre to be built in Indus, Alberta (just east of Calgary)

This project would overall cause more harm than good for the province, with AI data centres using an absurd amount of water, as well as producing a lot of noise and vibrations that would disturb/drive away both wildlife and local residents. The data centre would only operate for a projected 25 years, while the environmental impact would last forever.

There’s a public feedback page open until January 26th where anyone can leave a comment with their concerns about the project; if enough concerns and criticisms are brought up, the project could be reconsidered.
