"Madison Boyle with the Amarillo Minority Coalition questioned the use of #groundwater for the data center, stating, 'Why are we using ground water that farmers could be using for agriculture, for AI data center, where it's going to deplete a resource that's not really renewable?'

"Boyle highlighted the strain on the #OgallalaAquifer, which is already depleting. Protest organizers urged city officials to consider future generations.

"Amarillo citizen Ashlyn Major called for transparency and suggested a public vote on the project. Fermi America has not responded to interview requests, but former Gov. #RickPerry, now vice president of #FermiAmerica, previously downplayed water concerns, emphasizing water recycling efforts."
