Wind turbines do take up space, cause deaths and disproportionately affect large birds of prey which are already very stressed due to habitat loss etc. They require roads and cause mayor disruptions when transported. At least around here.
They are much better than fossil power, though.
Also, data centers tend to be built in industrial parks and not in residential areas, but america may just be built different.
They don't kill birds though, that's propaganda
