Many residents' electricity bills are skyrocketing due to the predicted demand of data centers. It's not as hard to convince people to oppose building more if they know it's due to more data centers. The problem is convincing many that it's the reason the bills are so high and not blaming windmill or solar power. The last part isn't always easy.
I completely agree, and it is a good idea to highlight that there will be increased utility bills by allowing for data center construction.
