@LoganDobson explains why the data center debate on X is almost entirely divorced from what locals actually care about:
"The local conversation tends to focus on things like resources. It's electric bills, water usage. It's literally stuff like construction of this data center will cause traffic on my route to my kid's school. Things that are real concerns for people in real communities."
"But not actually the same things people on X are talking about when they're discussing broader data center disputes. When people are pontificating on X about, this is why people hate data centers, almost none of them are saying, well, it's because a lot of people think that if a data center comes to their town, their electric bill will go from $100 to $115 in a month."
"That's not really satisfying from a national perspective, because people like to think that everything's about big issues that have massive implications about the future of technology."
