I think other replies describe why this is a terrible approach to looking at a movement, but you mentioned insured property loses and I couldnt help but wonder if the protests actually did any damage to insurance companies (unfortunately they didnt take even a dime).

Private U.S. property/casualty insurers’ made more in 2020 than 2019 in net underwriting gains (difference between net premiums and any claims and other insurance-related expenses)

$5.1 billion of net underwriting gains in 2020 compare to $3.7 billion of net underwriting gains a year earlier

Not sure why you used google links. Here are the non-google links:

A single year of federal road funding is more than amtrak has gotten in its entire existance

Data centers can introduce several types of pollutants into water systems. These pollutants fall into three main categories.

Biocides: chemicals to prevent the growth of bacteria, mold, and algae in the cooling system, and the most common pollutant in data center water systems.

Corrosion inhibitors: chemicals that prevent corrosion within cooling systems

Heavy metals: metals, such as copper zinc, and lead, that can enter the water in trace amounts when metal components degrade.

Additionally, fine salt dust that drifts in the atmosphere from evaporative cooling towers can settle on nearby soils and surface waters, potentially harming vegetation and increasing salinity in aquatic systems. This concern is especially pressing given that salt pollution is already a growing issue in certain water supply reservoirs, including the Occoquan.

None of this even includes the water from the additional electricity generation required to power the data centers

Climate town has a great episode on natural gas if anyone wants to know more about how bad it is https://youtu.be/K2oL4SFwkkw
