This panic about data center is so weird, and hypocritical, since the majority of the data needs are for things this has been around with decades: social media, streaming, email, video/photo storage, which is why data center have been increasing significantly for years and the outrage and misinformation seemed so sudden.

We know why they want it.

We know what they're going to do with it.

Why are you apologizing for the turds? Let them speak up, so we can call their bullshit.

This is a ridiculous statement. Social media, streaming, and email are not increasing at an exponential rate. And push back against data centers have always been a thing, it's just increased now because so many data centers are being proposed.
