Democrats are using AI as an excuse to slow the economy down. They don’t want a good economy under Trump and so they will drag their feet and try to regulate as always.

We need more data centers. We also need clear regulations around their impact on public utilities. The public on both sides of the aisle is against them right now. They have a major messaging issue.

My take is that data centers can pay a large amount of property taxes in an area that fund critical local infrastructure. They should not be allowed to pay less for electricity than retail customers. You need to control the noise pollution. You make these things known to the public and you should be able to build again.

Agreed. Most of the issues you bring up have been addressed, but that won’t stop democrats from taking the opportunity to hinder Trump.

China is making a large push to spread data center fear here in the USA to slow us down and Democrats are falling for it, or worse intentionally using it to slow the economy down
