Zamora is on a war footing due to the construction of a large data center: “It's a way of getting rid of us”
The project, located in the town of Monfarracinos and focused on artificial intelligence, will generate more heat, more noise and high energy consumption, according to a CSIC researcher.
A large area of land in Monfarracinos, Zamora, is set to be converted into a major data center for artificial intelligence. The site, located about 10 kilometers from Zamora city, has historically been used for agriculture and livestock farming. The project, approved by the Junta de Castilla y León, is expected to generate jobs but also concerns about energy consumption, noise, and heat pollution. A local platform is opposing the initiative, criticizing the mayor of Monfarracinos for allegedly keeping information secret.
