A protester holds up a handcrafted fish prop

A protester holds up a handcrafted fish prop, representing their opposition to the construction of artificial intelligence data centers, at the Missouri State Capital on Wednesday in Jefferson City. “Anyone who grows food knows: you can’t grow food without water,” Ozark County Farmer Wren Haffner said in a news release. Haffner also called for a moratorium on data centers until Missouri can ensure water resources will be protected.
