Somewhere around 70% of Americans don't want a data center in their communities. It's not just the purple haired freaks that are against it.
If you wouldn't want one in your community, it's quite hypocritical to shite talk the people that are being directly affected.
I live in one of the most staunchly conservative areas of the country and the county i live in, Bryan County, Oklahoma had such a backlash against a proposed data center that the county commissioners suspended it for a year and it will die on the vine. Most people flat out don't want them around their community, regardless of yay money for schools.

Tubs says we'll take all the data centers we can get.
That might be my number one reason for opposing them.
"Tubs" is set to make bank personally on them, I can just about guarantee.
AI centers are the Dot.Com bubble of this decade and he's trying to get in and back out of them before that bubble bursts.

Who the hell wants a data center near their neighborhood?
So conservatives are pro-data centers now?

When then put them with the 30%.
Roanoke, TX has a huge one for Facebook right next door, been there for close to 10 years, not sure if anybody realizes it is there because it merely looks like a larger than average warehouse.

They’re being financed in many cases by the power companies (which are public institutions). These financing agreements are under the table.
The money being spent doesn’t even make sense. 2 data centers going into Montgomery County, Missouri. Estimated investment - $87 billion over the project’s life for just the Google one. The Amazon one is $10B initially.
Those are made up number by whoever is making up those numbers. I question whether 25% of them will be operational in 15 years.

That's fine. Build more there then. Make Roanoke, TX the Data Center Capitol of the World for all I give a frick.
A rancher i know had a big part in stopping the one here in rural Oklahoma. At least we have county commissioners that are scared of their constituents.

Why would they care about job growth since “they” don’t work anyway?

That is what I just said Luddite. Put them where people want them.
Just invite the people who build them elsewhere to cyberattack us any time they want.
