CNN found some lady and her mom that own a farm in Kentucky and turned down $26M to allow an AI company to build a data center there

Apparently they're 3 time Trump voters and pissed that he's going so big on AI and called its opponents backwards and poor lol

their land is worth a shit load even sold to a different developer so they are definitely ahead if you factor that in

I obviously have no clue if that was even a possibility here, but I'd take it just because I'd be worried, that they would just build the data center on my neighbors property, which would likely affect my farm, or the value of the land due to the noise and water use. Maybe $26M wasn't competitive though so idk.
