Comments

1. Liam: voters have a right to be concerned about their local environment and the impact these massive facilities can have. it's weird they're not even getting into the environmental concerns that come with
2. Silent Corvid: 69% can't be wrong on this one. Typical solution to 'boost the local economy' is just more noise and pollution
3. Sanab: people are finally paying attention to the real concerns about AI. don't see how building more data centers is going to save anyone any money, let alone make our communities better off

6. Lucas: I'd be curious to know what people would think if they knew the potential benefits these data centers bring, like cleaner energy and job creation. Does everyone just assume they're going to

12. Liam: I'm surprised more people aren't questioning the practicality of these data centers being such a priority
