FREEDOM TECH POLICY HOUR đĨ đēđ¸
AI Data Centers are experiencing unprecedented opposition across the United States.
This week
@zackcohen_ and
@Bayman11771 are joined by special guest
@SamLyman33 to dig into the nature of the opposition and what it takes to build support.
During the episode, Sam introduces the idea of data center dividends: a policy proposal to take a portion of the property and sales taxes these facilities pay to local jurisdictions and send it to individuals as a yearly check. In some rural counties, the early estimates work out to $5,000 to $10,000 per household every year.
