In this episode of "90 Miles from Needles," host Chris Clarke looks into the contentious topic of a proposed AI data center in Imperial County, California. As the largest project of its kind proposed in the state, local residents, led by community advocates like Gilberto Manzanarez of Valle Imperial Resiste, express concerns over the establishment's potential environmental and social impacts. The discussion emphasizes the community's grassroots efforts to halt the project through public awareness and strategic mobilization against a backdrop of economic challenges in one of California's most underrepresented regions. The episode offers a first-hand account of the local opposition to the data center, with residents citing noise pollution, potential environmental degradation, and the betrayal of municipal promises regarding water and electricity resources. Gilberto Manzanarez shares insights on the movement he represents, explaining the importance of community-driven advocacy against powerful interests. The episode underscores ongoing battles for environmental justice and the struggle for local communities to safeguard their living conditions against speculative developments with uncertain long-term consequences. Key Takeaways: Gilberto Manzanarez and his organization, Valle Imperial Resiste, advocate for grassroots mobilization to oppose a proposed AI data center in Imperial County due to its potential negative impacts. Residents voiced concerns about noise pollution, diminished property values, and uncertain environmental repercussions during a contentious Imperial County Planning Commission meeting. The Planning Commission's decision to delay the project and set up workshops reflects local pushback and the effort to educate and engage the community more meaningfully in decision-making. The episode highlights broader issues surrounding data centers, including the socio-environmental considerations lacking in many current developmental plans, as seen through examples from other U.S. cities. A call for a moratorium on data center projects until comprehensive policies are in place signals a movement toward more cautious and community-focused development practices. Notable Quotes: “This is no exception. The LLC that's trying to put the project here was only established one year ago. It's a playbook that's been played out in the entire country.” “One of the things that I noticed, was that there was a lack of information that these organizations gathered, but that information never really made it out to the people.” “I come from a town called Calexico, California... I'm not putting my entire faith in electeds right now.” “We want a comprehensive policy revolving around data centers around the Imperial County.” Resources: Valle Imperial Resiste Instagram Valle Imperial Resiste Website GoFundMe Campaign for NIMBY Imperial Listeners are encouraged to tune into the full episode to grasp the complexities and emotional currents of this important local issue.Become a desert defender!: https://90milesfromneedles.com/donateSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

AgNet News Hour: Water, Land, and a Fight for the Future of Farming in California On today's AgNet News Hour, Nick “The Ag Meter” Papagni and Josh McGill deliver a critical and candid conversation with Imperial Valley farmer Andrew Leimgruber —shedding light on the daily battles California growers face just to stay in business. From water rights to foreign land ownership, today's episode is a must-listen for anyone who cares about the future of American agriculture. Leimgruber, a fourth-generation alfalfa and vegetable grower near El Centro, doesn't hold back. He discusses how water cutbacks, state regulations, and rising costs are putting unprecedented strain on farmers. Despite receiving just two inches of rain per year, Leimgruber has reduced water usage by up to 30% while maintaining yields—proving that farmers, not lawmakers, are leading on sustainability. But there's only so much innovation can do without policy support. Leimgruber warns that state leadership continues to ignore ag's economic role, while embracing short-sighted energy policies and approving solar development on prime farmland. He also raises alarms about the Chinese government buying U.S. farmland near sensitive military sites—calling it both a food security and national security issue. The show also explores the ripple effects of the closing Spreckels Sugar factory, which could impact 28,000 acres of crops and hundreds of jobs in Imperial County. Leimgruber outlines how losing such crop diversity could weaken the region's ag economy and make farmers more vulnerable to price volatility. Nick and Josh underscore a recurring theme: food security is national security. As cities expand and water politics become more divisive, the need to protect and prioritize California farmland has never been greater. Don't miss this important episode—where real farmers speak hard truths about policy, production, and perseverance.

About a quarter of all new vehicles sold in California last year were zero emission. But there are big regional differences in where electric vehicles are bought and driven in the state. You see a lot of them on the road in the Bay Area, Los Angeles and Orange County, but it's harder to spot them in the Central Valley or Imperial County. But there are programs aimed at addressing the EV gap. Reporter: Laura Klivans, KQED California workplace regulators are expected to vote Thursday on new protections from dangerous heat for millions of indoor workers. The Occupational Safety and Health Standards Board is considering new rules that would require most employers to keep indoor work areas below 87 degrees when feasible, or if it's not, change workers' shifts or use protective equipment to reduce the risks.

Australia, Chile and China are the top three sources of the world's lithium – the element essential to build the batteries that power electric vehicles. But that could change as mining operations progress in California's Imperial Valley. “Lithium Valley,” a vast underground reserve near the Salton Sea, contains enough lithium to meet all of U.S. future demand and more than one-third of global demand, according to the Governor's office. We learn more about the project and its impacts as part of Forum's “In Transit” series.

What would you do if you if all the lamps in your office started making strange noises, late at night, and then you felt "a presence" and then felt something pressing against your temple?

The Ipai lived in territory extending from the San Diego River (approximately State Highway 78), and eastward through Escondido to Lake Henshaw. The Kamia lived in Imperial County and over the mountains east of San Diego County.
