MAGA and Marjorie Taylor Greene Join Growing Anti-Data Center Movement
The article reports on a significant escalation in opposition to data center expansion across the United States. New York Governor Kathy Hochul signed an executive order imposing a yearlong moratorium on data-center construction, alarming Silicon Valley AI advocates who fear a precedent-setting move. The piece highlights mounting bipartisan public disgust over data centers' environmental impacts, including water depletion, strain on electrical grids, light pollution, air pollution causing respiratory diseases, and noise pollution. A Gallup poll indicates 70% of Americans oppose data centers, including a majority of Republicans. AI lobbyists warn the industry must address these concerns. The article culminates with the announcement of a rally on July 18 in Washington D.C., organized by the activist group Humans First and supported by Representative Marjorie Taylor Greene, demanding a halt to data center expansion.
