What is AI Infrastructure, and Why Should I Care About It?
AI infrastructure can be defined as hyperscale data centers, transmission lines, natural gas pipelines, and any number of large-scale generation projects. In the name of AI infrastructure, as a society we are rolling back our climate goals, sacrificing our fresh water, being forced to give up our land, and in some cases our entire way of life. With the way this infrastructure is being proposed right now, it will completely change the face of Maryland in an extremely negative way.
Profits are being put above true progress, the environment, and the people.
“They are taking the best farmland in our county. Once it is gone, you cannot get it back.”-Steve Gortmiller MPRP affected farmer
Davids vs. Industry Goliaths
“I am not against technology. I love technology. But are we going to destroy our environment for artificial intelligence? I think we must ask ourselves, ‘What is the definition of progress?’” -Brandon Hill MPRP Affected Resident and Activist.
“People say ‘nothing is out here.’ And I am answering, No, this is a place where everything is.”
— Zana Moran, MPRP Affected Resident and Activist
