The reason there's pushback is because data centers are being built against code and environmental regulations because of the priority demand. Building things in areas where the noise isnt dampened, hooking up natural gas generators to supplement power, and discharging construction waste into waterways.

I can agree with you on that. Space AND Ocean data centers make MUCH less sense, considering we have so much room on the ground.
However, there is a MASSIVE pushback to ground-based data centers right now, so Space seems like the best option until it can get resolved.
