During a Tulare County Board of Supervisors meeting in Visalia, California, on Tuesday, a woman was forcibly removed by police after disrupting the proceedings with protests against AI data centers. The incident occurred as supervisors voted unanimously (5-0) to extend a moratorium on new data center projects for another 10 months and 15 days. The original moratorium had been enacted in July following public opposition to a proposed data center at the Tulare County Fairgrounds. Activists like Joe Delgado from Power California argue that such centers divert attention from local economic issues, as residents struggle with a rising cost-of-living crisis.
