Why? Almost all large constructions with local impact has some NIMBY movement. In addition, all these datacenters are ultimately backed by the Epstein-class with the end game to replace you. Action on the national level may be lost, but on the local level things can still be done.

    In the long run I don't think it would matter that much. They would just move it elsewhere potentially in someone's else backyard but the infrastructure will still run by you and the effects/consequences are still the same. A nice looking backyard doesn't matter when everything around it is on fire.
