Big Tech's Water Grab: Spanish Farmers Revolt Against Data Center Boom

Microsoft and Amazon are investing billions in land in water-stressed Spain to build data centers, sparking outrage among local farmers. While the tech giants promise investment and jobs, farmers fear the massive water consumption of data centers will exacerbate water scarcity and harm agriculture. The activist group "Your Cloud is Drying Up My River" is campaigning for a moratorium on new data centers, highlighting the conflict between technological advancement and environmental concerns, and the clash between local and corporate interests.
