Support H.R. 9939, the No AI Data Centers on Federal Lands Act. The Trump administration is handing federal public lands and military bases to private companies for AI data centers, bringing heavy water use, air and light pollution, and rising electricity costs to surrounding communities. These lands belong to the public, not Big Tech. The pattern is already clear. In Nevada, the BLM quietly swapped an approved solar project for a commercial data center on a 76-acre public plot — with zero community input. Residents only found out after the decision was made. Rep. Rashida Tlaib's bill would permanently ban large AI data centers on federal land, require removal of existing facilities, and mandate site remediation. That's exactly the kind of accountability this moment demands. Vote yes on H.R. 9939.
