Need watchful eyes in the Mt. Hood area -- more context below
As some of you may know, data centers are popping up all over the place. Many are popping up along the Columbia River watershed, and recently it has been made clear that the US Forest Service intends to sell 150 acres of Mt. Hood National Forest to supply one (or more) of these data centers with fresh glacier-fed water.
A couple of days ago, it was broadcast in the news that a pipe leading down from the Bull Run (which supplies Portland/suburb residents with drinking water) has sprung a leak. This could be a simple leak, but knowing where this country is headed - we can't rule out that this leak was intentional and/or that maintenance will serve more than one purpose. That is to say, we need to monitor whether new piping is being set in place to feed AI data centers with our Bull Run water. In this day and age, information is weaponized against us - and we need to fight it by focusing on what we can and can't influence. Anyone in the Mt. Hood area, this is our fight.
