TL;DR: $64 billion in U.S. data center projects have been blocked or delayed by a growing wave of local, bipartisan opposition. What was once quiet infrastructure is now a national flashpoint — and communities are pushing back.

Glad to see this sort of information out there.

Nitpick: I don't like their usage of the term NIMBY to describe opposition to these sorts of projects. A giant-ass McMansion homeowner objecting to ADUs or apartments nearby is not at all the same as a community objecting to fucking gas turbines being installed and polluting their atmosphere all while electricity and water usage goes through the roof.
