Climate Group 350.org Urges Congress to Halt Data Centers Amid Heatwave Affecting 250 Million Americans

Summary

As a dangerous heatwave grips the Midwest and Eastern US affecting at least 250 million people through the Fourth of July weekend, climate advocacy group 350.org is urging Congress to impose a moratorium on new data centers and ban utility companies from cutting off electricity to households that can't afford to pay. The group argues that data centers are consuming massive amounts of electricity around the clock, straining the power grid and leaving little headroom for residential needs during extreme weather events. The campaign calls for prioritizing people over the rapidly expanding tech infrastructure.
