🚨 NEW: For a year, I've watched the growing campaign against AI data centers, from protests over water and electricity that include a sophisticated pro-China communist and socialist activist ecosystem mobilizing opposition across the country. Today, there's a new proposal aimed at changing that debate: "data center dividends" for the communities and their residents who have data centers as their neighbors. They could amount to as much as $8,900 a year per person. What do you think? A new report by the @BitcoinPolicy Institute proposes the idea of "data center dividends" that could push cash in the pockets of Americans. 🎥 Watch my interview with @SamLyman33, the head of resarch and a former senior advisor and speech writer to Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent, as he explains the idea. The concept: instead of communities simply selling land for AI infrastructure, residents could receive annual payments, tax credits, utility bill credits or scholarship funds financed by the existing property tax revenue generated by the data centers, without raising taxes or increasing costs for developers. Researchers estimate a typical rural household could receive about $4,500 to $8,900 a year, with some communities potentially receiving even more. The idea is simple: if rural America is helping power the AI revolution, shouldn't rural Americans share directly in the economic gains? In my latest @FoxNews Digital report, I break down the proposal, the politics behind it and why its supporters believe it could reverse the growing backlash against data centers. 📖 Read the full story:
