Amazon Workers Urge Seattle to Halt Data Center Expansion

A group of Amazon employees has petitioned the city of Seattle to pause the construction of new data centers, citing concerns over environmental impact and resource consumption. The workers argue that the rapid expansion of data infrastructure for cloud computing and AI services is straining local energy grids and water supplies. In a letter to city officials, they call for a moratorium until a comprehensive sustainability review is completed. Amazon has not yet publicly responded to the request.
