More Perfect Union has been releasing great mini docs about the geographical, ecological and health impacts of digital industries, this one on a Bit coining mining facility and this other one on a XAI Data center (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3VJT2JeDCyw) are both very well made works that address this current issue.
Nowadays in pretty much unanimously understood the health concerns associated with living next to factories and big industries, most countries have regulations on where and how they can be installed, that does not mean that this is always enforced or that there isn't land occupations near to these facilites due to lack of affordable housing. However, there is very few debates on the environmental and health impacts of living next to big data centers that demand an absurd amount of power to run, which generates sound pollution, air pollution and others.
Really recommend both of these videos because they not only interview specialists but also the people in the communities being affected.
