If you thought climate doomposting was bad, wait until you see what the NGO lawfare machine is doing to your internet. A brand new report from the London School of Economics (LSE) has revealed that eco-lawyers have filed roughly 3,600 climate lawsuits since 2015, and their new favorite target is datacentres. Yes, the very server farms that generate your AI and run the digital economy are under siege because they dare to use electricity, water, and air.

This global campaign of seething and suing is hitting projects everywhere. Back in 2020, Google tried to build a massive datacentre in Santiago, Chile. But local activists and a hysterical municipal council managed to completely halt the project because they claimed it would ruin the city’s water supply. Fast forward to today, and these same groups are still complaining that other datacentres are draining dry wetlands. Apparently, they want us to go back to writing letters on parchment.

Europe is also witnessing peak eco-madness. Ireland has become a massive "hotspot" for these lawsuits. The Irish government actually wants its tech economy to grow, even though datacentres currently consume more than 20 percent of the country’s electricity grid. To keep things running, Ireland’s Commission for the Regulation of Utilities (CRU) ruled in December that these companies could use fossil fuels for six years before switching to renewables.

Instead of accepting a logical transition, the eco-lobby went wild. Friends of the Irish Environment, Friends of the Earth Ireland, and ClientEarth rushed to court for a judicial review, crying that the policy will lock Ireland into "expensive fossil gas." FIE is on a complete rampage, suing everyone in sight—including Ireland's Environmental Protection Agency for having the audacity to approve a datacentre in South Dublin. You literally cannot make this up.

Meanwhile, in California, the city of Pittsburg got bullied by the courts into forcing a datacentre to use recycled water and renewable energy. Because nothing screams economic efficiency like making servers drink greywater. Over in Georgia and Pennsylvania, activists are suing state regulators just for approving the basic fossil fuel hookups needed to keep the lights on at these tech facilities.

But the absolute peak of this clown show is happening in Mississippi, where the NAACP is suing Elon Musk's xAI. The allegation? They claim xAI is violating the Clean Air Act by running portable methane generators without the right permits, calling it a public health risk.
