With some very minor exceptions, the data center buildout is happening in red states (historically some purple but on a go forward basis, red). The data center question is entirely a red on red issue. It’s impossible to build in blues and power is expensive, hence no one is even planning to build there 🚨this is why the left is poisoning the well on datacenters 🚨 They have nothing at stake. Nothing to gain, nothing to lose. They will run the Greta / fracking playbook on DCs. The right must avoid being useful idiots for the left and China at all costs. By all means, debate the merit of the DC buildout. But don’t fall into the slopulist trap of being against them “because everyone is” or because the left manufactures consent via the press and NGOs. The left is not participating in the DC buildout; they should not have a seat at the table. Assume that they will try to play spoiler to ruin what is a massive reindustrialization opportunity in Americas heartland, creating skilled jobs that have been missing for so long. It’s entirely rational for the left to ruin this for red America. Don’t let them.
