Trump attacks datacenter backlash, claiming communities pushing back risk becoming ‘backwards and poor’
(www.theguardian.com)
Three-quarters of Americans said in a recent poll that they oppose datacenters being built next to their homes
What data centers are net energy negative? Maybe if they designed the building inefficiently large and then placed solar panels on the roof... Maybe. But I haven't seen any articles or papers or evidence of such a data center. Maybe some have on premise energy generators like natural gas but they are inherently less efficient than the state/federal/municipality ran ones which operate on a larger scale and enjoy the benefits of doing such.
Maybe a combination data center and nuclear power plant? But that's totally speculative and probably has never even been seriously sketched out.
Oh yeah two things everyone wants to live near
