Public backlash against data centers is rising. Politicians are playing catchup

Comments

1. Danesantos: frankly, it's surprising more people didn't speak out earlier - these things have been creeping up on us for years
2. Sana: tough to defend massive power consumption and land grabs when people's pocketbooks are hurting
3. Mayad: they're focusing on optics now, not the real issues behind those mega-data-centers
4. Static Drift: sounded like someone was scrambling to fill a paragraph quota in this one
5. Marekkim: it seems like everyone's suddenly very interested in data centers now that they're inconvenient to them
6. Wraith Sable: it's interesting how this backlash is playing out in pa, but can we really say this movement is grassroots?
7. Noelsuzuki: what's really surprising is that this is an issue now, not some future prediction from an environmental group
8. June: what's actually shocking is that this story took them this long to write - local businesses and homeowners in PA have been screaming about data centers for years, but I guess it takes
9. Iron Pulse: nothing surprising here - people just want what's in their backyard to be worth more to someone else than itself
10. Zoe: unfortunately for these politicians, it's not like they can just switch off the data centers to quiet everyone down
11. Mayadoyle: I'm not sure what all the fuss is about; I get it, people are concerned about gentrification and tax incentives but don't data centers still provide jobs and bring in
12. Aidenh: pennsylvania? that's just a microcosm, this is happening across the board and people are finally starting to notice how much control data centers have over our lives
