Data Center Big Lies
The pro-data center lobby (and their leashed politicians) are going
around now claiming that 99% (that's what Vance just said) of the
reason people hate data centers is because of increased electric
rates, and that if data centers create their own energy everyone
should love them. Garbage. How do they generate their own energy?
Dozens of polluting gas generators. Onsite nukes? Oh lovely, everyone
loves a nuclear power plant in the neighborhood. Trump claims data
centers make property values go up. Ridiculous. The pollution and 24/7
noise destroys communities and the value of homes near them. Who would
want live next to such monstrous symbols of Big Tech Evil? -L
