Data Centres: The New Environmental Battleground Erin Brockovich's name is synonymous with environmental activism, particularly her fight against Pacific Gas & Electric in the 1990s, which resulted in a $333 million settlement for the town of Hinkley.
Her work on this case was immortalized in the film Erin Brockovich, starring Julia Roberts. Now, Brockovich finds herself at the forefront of a new environmental issue: data centres.
These massive facilities house powerful computers used for tasks such as streaming services and online banking.
