"The only reason that communities throughout the U.S.A. should not want Data Centers is if they want to end up being backwards and poor. If they want to be successful and rich, with far lower taxes and jobs all over the place, let Data Reign. The good news is there are plenty of other places that want them. If we kill the Golden Goose, you will only have yourselves to blame. China could not be happier with this anti Data Center movement. Actually, they can't believe it is happening! President DJT"

A good bit of info to bolster a targeted community/town facing DC development in AT,

May be subscriber only content, so I'm including a partial rundown:
"The local argument is more powerful, because the people who actually control the dirt are not in a Capitol hearing room. They are on planning boards, in volunteer fire companies, and in houses next to the proposed fence line. They are in a position of strength before the political photo-op gold shovel hits the dirt. After the ribbon-cutting, leverage collapses. Before permits, the center operator needs the town more than the town needs another warehouse full of racks.
Developers know this, which is why so many deals begin in silence. In Virginia, home to the world’s densest cluster of data centers, Public Citizen reports that about 80 percent of localities with proposed or existing centers have nondisclosure agreements in place. Officials sign NDAs that hide the ultimate owner or tenant during the only period when residents can still say no or say yes on hard terms. Campaign cash and the promise of “economic development” do the rest. A town that signs the gag order first has already sold the most valuable thing it owns: time and information."
