BLACKSTONE DATA CENTER CAUGHT BOOTLEGGING MILLIONS OF GALLONS OF WATER - RESIDENTS TOLD TO CONSERVE
Residents in Georgia were told to conserve water. Meanwhile, a Blackstone-owned AI data center project in Georgia consumed nearly 29 million gallons through unauthorized hookups while officials declined to issue fines or take any enforcement action.
This is no longer about technology. It’s about:
institutional favoritism
unequal enforcement
hidden infrastructure strain
and whether local communities are being forced to absorb the costs of hyperscale AI expansion while billion-dollar projects operate under a different set of rules.
