A local advocacy group, Citizens of Lubbock Against Data Centers, also known as Save Lubbock, has taken action against large artificial intelligence data centers. The group recently submitted a petition to the city secretary's office, requesting a temporary halt on these facilities within city limits. The petition seeks an 18-month moratorium, and according to the group, they have collected more than the required number of signatures.

The group's efforts aim to promote transparency in local government, citing concerns over the city's previous attempts to gather public feedback on data centers. Further details on the petition and the group's concerns are available from the source, KCBD News.
