Potere al Popolo Opposes New Data Center Development in Martesana

Potere al Popolo has formally opposed the construction of new data centers in the Martesana region, citing significant environmental and social costs associated with these projects. They argue that the benefits in employment are minimal compared to the extensive resource consumption that includes electricity, water, and land use.

The movement points to international examples, particularly in the USA, where existing data centers have led to social and environmental conflicts. They propose a platform prioritizing public planning and local needs, emphasizing that environmental costs cannot be offloaded onto communities. This opposition reflects a broader concern about sustainable development practices in the face of increasing digital infrastructure demands.
