Yeah you need to stop data centers before they're built, not after, and lots of local governments are being forced to do that by residents

    Exactly, as with many problems in our societies, the answer isn't to be angry on the Internet until it's gotten so bad that you contemplate firebombing warehouses.

    The answer is to participate in the political processes that were created to govern your area/country. The reason that these datacenter projects are being pushed through is because it's just city council members in a public meeting where 2 citizens and 12 industry lawyers show up to voice their position.

    Pay attention to local matters, vote, show up to public meetings, state your opinion. That doesn't happen online.
