Exclusive: 75% of Americans Now Oppose Local Data Center Development

The U.S. public’s support for AI data centers has continued to collapse since the spring, a new Heatmap Pro poll shows.

We’ve got exclusive new polling on local data center development at @heatmap_news.

Over the past year, we’ve asked Americans whether they would support or oppose a data center being built near where they live.

We haven’t changed the wording. When we first polled the question a year ago, Americans were split 43-42 on support/oppose.

When we asked again in Feb, a bare majority opposed data centers.

Today, 75% of Americans say they would oppose a data center being built near where they live, and 61% said they would “strongly oppose” such a proposal.

It’s a swift, massive shift in US public opinion on a scale that I wouldn’t have once thought possible.

What economic boost? Once the center is built it will only need a handful of people to run it.

He really stirred up a hornet's nest by accusing 2 Americans of being Chinese political pawns......


They're tracking the money and naming names

I know this is a serious topic, and that this post is from a few months ago, but no one seems to have mentioned the nipples?

I know a lot of us OG’s are older now, but in the old days that would’ve been called out immediately. What’s happened to this board?

Now, back to the topic at hand……

We (the US), in our need to be first, and not necessarily the best, started this A.I. arms race that may very well trigger pur destruction.

The company building a massive data center complex in rural Millard County is promising not just the “largest data center campus in the world,” but one that could recover “vastly” more water than it consumes.

“We don’t believe Utah should have to choose between economic growth and responsible water stewardship,” CEO Ray Conley told reporters.

Creekstone Energy, the company behind the massive 10-gigawatt Delta Gigasite project, applied to patent a new technology that he says will harness the condensation created by burning the natural gas that will power the data center…
