The left wing lunatics hate to see anyone build or improve something. That way they never have to compete or admit their lives are failures.

that's how bad data centers suck. no one wants them.
There are not that many large data centers operational yet to unequivocally say they suck
There are some smaller-footprint ones in large cities that were built out in abandoned buildings like old Walmarts, malls, grocery stores, etc and numerous times people protesting new ones had no idea they were already living next to several. It's quite funny, actually, because it shows how much fear mongering controls narratives.
We will take them all here in Louisiana and the tax revenue that comes with them. Send them on

Isn’t Prince George one of the most, if not the most affluent majority black county in America? Or am I getting my brothas and sistas mixed up?

I live next to 3 massive centers that just popped up. My electrical bill has skyrocketed. They say it not the data centers fault but we know why... I live in a dang nice town and Hobbs screwed us with these ugly things.

Tubs says we'll take all the data centers we can get.
Absolutely. Could completely transform our state's economy.

That's because the buildout cost for the grid got passed down to you.
Too bad you guys don't have better state leaders. Even Louisiana is proactively addressing this.

Data centers just need to pay the citizens directly to get through this.

Data centers are boondoggles. Change my mind.
Pretty much. And the thing is that a lot of so-called "conservatives" don't get is that huge ones now can be run with a very small team (usually around 5-6 people) if any, and 0 from the local populace.
The fat lady is misguided as hell and her efforts should be in doing something more about her weight and her own job prospects but those people in that area wouldn't have seen a dime of money (tax or from jobs) from data center being put in anways.
People are so fricking stupid in this country. Both sides of the aisles and everything in-between.

There are hundreds of data center projects all over the country being contested.

Because NPR decided to run this article to highlight black girl boss power! You should direct your question to them.

You go gurrrllllll!!!!!!!
NPR
Once that happened, people started laughing at the facts. Her area is $200 billion in debt, and they are choosing to turn down a revenue-generating engine for a derelict property that has sat vacant for 24 years because no one else wants to invest there.

Why would they care about job growth since “they” don’t work anyway? Had they offered them a few hundred in cash they would have buckled like a bad knee.

They want us to be a third world country. Look at Michigan and Minnesota for the blueprint.

I actually think-they think that they did the right thing.

How about Big Tech funding reparations accounts? How quickly the landscape would change, both literally and figuratively.
And her figure could definitely need a change.

Good. Local communities should have the power to stop industrial projects in their own backyard. They aleady live in less than desirable areas...let's make it worse with the constant hum of a data center.
