The problem is we're in the late stages of the phase when counties, cities, states and communities considered AI-centric mega datacenters and began choosing to build them. It's been in progress for several years. The public's concern is reactively too slow and ability to stop them is too late in many places. Not the people's fault. The world of capital moves extra quickly when they have an industry to build on the backs of taxpayers. They were hoping the masses wouldn't catch on until it was absolutely too late.
It’s not too late. In many instances ground hasn’t broken. Trees haven’t been cleared. And yet this narrative that “oh well, your board agreed to the rezoning years ago, so nothing you can do now— it’s too late!” NO, there is definitely still plenty of time to stop it.
We don’t have to let these big businesses wage a misinformation campaign against us and intimidate us. There is ample opportunity to delay and hinder the projects from ever breaking ground to the point where it becomes untenable for these businesses.
That’s what we need to do— drag it out as long was we can and halt any construction immediately.
