You are way, way off on this. Opposition to *hyperscale* data centers (not the standard ones that have been around for awhile), is not remotely limited to leftist climate change worshippers. There are many, including rural, conservative church-going Christians who also oppose them. Perhaps you should do more research.
“Because opposition to data centers is bipartisan, people of all political persuasions can feel united in a larger cause that transcends party lines.”
Jane, Chris addressed the issue as Bipartisan, and yes. Many opposing them may be conservative Christians, but the piece is addressing a heart issue that anyone, believer or not, fall into, underestimation of God’s providence.
We have one in my county - the issue was that local elites pulled lots of strings behind the curtains. Citizens felt rightly that they had no say. The saw neighbors lose hundreds of thousands of value in the homes. Electric transmission poles 10' at base and 150' high went into people's front yards and were offered <$10,000 for impact. There was more but the impact was outrageous and wrong. That is the issue. Not the data center. It is the industries own fault! And it must stop.
These monster installations do not belong in suburban areas. There is plenty of space for them but they want easy installations with ready connections - to hell will the local population. Or the could put smaller installations around.

They MUST respect the lives of local populations!
This is a very thought provoking piece. Thank you for sharing.
