According to residents in Lowell, Massachusetts, today (November 12), the Markley Lowell AI data center is triggering strong protests over severe noise and emissions pollution affecting nearby neighborhoods. Residents describe the noise from diesel generators and gas turbines as "like a jet engine next to your bed" and "like a plane about to take off," forcing some families to avoid outdoor activities and raising concerns over health impacts. House prices have dropped, and insurance premiums have tripled in affected areas.

Environmental groups and local residents have filed lawsuits to halt expansions, and Lowell's city council passed a ban on new data center construction. Texas Governor Gina Hinojosa announced plans to introduce protective legislation and called for a pause on data center development pending regulatory safeguards.
