Yeah, not a good thing to plant invasive species. As an alternative, I'll suggest planting protected species (and making sure local authorities know they're there) where there's a likelihood of data centers being built. Just as much headache for data centers, not destructive to the planet.

I'm going to sticky this comment and lock the post. Hopefully folks will see the lock and come looking for the reason and that'll lead them to this stickied post.

(Lemmy doesn't let me edit the post title or anything like that.)
