Data Centers Decimate your Air and Water | Recently Repeated History

Earth Day's first protesters provide the starting point; data centers provide the present-day question. Extra History's latest "Recently Repeated History" animation moves from polluted waterways and smog to the environmental disclosures expected of the companies building digital infrastructure.

Narrated by Matthew Krol and written by Robert Rath, "Data Centers Decimate your Air and Water | Recently Repeated History" recounts the creation of the EPA under Richard Nixon. It then says that Lee Zeldin proposed exempting planned data centers from publicly disclosing their air pollution, placing that proposal within a broader criticism of the administration's deregulation. The Short is sponsored by Social Currant, as the channel identifies in its pinned comment.

It is the week's most watched new upload, reaching roughly 414,000 views, and currently the channel's busiest video. Older entries about Stonewall remembrance and Hoover-era tariffs also remain among its strongest sources of daily views.

The other new arrival takes a much longer historical view. "Eleanor of Aquitaine | Extra History Complete | European History" follows Eleanor from her marriage to Louis VII through her English queenship and later efforts to sustain her family's power. More than a stitched-together revisit, the compilation incorporates viewer feedback that the team says Robert Rath had previously addressed only in its "Lies" follow-up.

Extra History added about 10,000 subscribers over seven days, although daily viewing is below its usual pace. Among nearby education channels, BradyYourTutor had a particularly large viewing week; Simple History and Wendover Productions had quieter daily traffic than usual. For Extra History, the new work stretches from medieval royal power to the rules governing modern infrastructure.
