Mario Nawfal(@MarioNawfal):🇺🇸 A 250-acre Oracle data center in Saline Township, Michigan needs about as much power as one million homes. Michigan alone has a dozen AI data centers planned. Another is under construction. And Democrats and Republicans nationwide are growing increasingly united… in opposition. People aren't anti-tech, they're anti-ambush. Big tech companies show up in their towns, make backroom deals, and these communities don’t feel like they are being heard. These companies have spent years lobbying Washington’s elite about the future. But they seem to forget about talking to the people who live where that future is being built. Source: NYT
