Historic American Chestnut Grove Threatened by AI Data Center

One of the last remaining stands of American chestnut trees in the United States could be destroyed to make room for an AI data center reportedly linked to Anthropic. Critics are decrying the plan as emblematic of the AI industry's growing appetite for land, energy and water, pitting a rare ecological treasure against the race to build computing infrastructure.
Why now: Concerns are mounting that the rapid expansion of AI data centers is coming at the cost of irreplaceable natural habitats.
