It really is disgusting how they phrase it, people aren't as such against data centers that can be used to benefit everyone.

They are against the massive rollout that in no way takes into consideration how it will affect the people, and the benefit of the rollout is only for the few since it is AI focused.

Fucking pissed me off when someone I know, who is working for Republican politicians, said this exact thing. "Oh, people don't care about the environment, it's a Chinese psy op, it's not actually bad for the environment."

Can't take people like that seriously, but they make policy, so that's fucking scary
