These data centers are coming to the Great Lakes basin because of our water. Humans should be concerned about the impact on the Great Lakes and explain the huge difference between gallons/day used and gallons/day discharged back into the lake. How will this affect me? 🌊🌊

Future expansion of the data center could increase water usage to over 8.4 million gallons per year. Plant in Wisconsin.

The greatest loss of human life on open water in the known history of the Great Lakes. Gale was involved but the schooner Augusta rammed the Lady Elgin. This horrific sinking resulted in sailing ships being required to have running lights

Lake Michigan, 165 years ago today

300 perish in the sinking of the Lady Elgin steamship. The majority were Irish Americans from Milwaukee on their way home from Chicago.

It was the greatest loss of life on open water in the history of the Great Lakes.
