Mapping data centers near schools from @yoonj_kim

The creator presents her original research findings that a high percentage of US data centers are built near K-12 schools. She visually demonstrates her methodology by showing a map of over 1,400 data centers plotted against school locations, presents key statistics on proximity, and highlights specific case studies in Atlanta and Kansas City using aerial footage to show the close distances. The video frames this as a previously untracked issue and uses clips of community activism to underscore the real-world implications.
