America's Data-Center Revolt Goes Local - And Bipartisan - As Towns Slam The Brakes

In rural Michigan, residents are rallying against a proposed $7 billion data center project, highlighting growing local opposition to tech infrastructure in residential areas. This bipartisan pushback reflects broader concerns about the environmental impact, property values, and community disruption from such large-scale developments. As towns across America begin to resist, it signals a shift in how communities are asserting control over their local landscapes, suggesting a more engaged and vocal public stance against the rapid expansion of tech giants' data centers. This local revolt could set a precedent for other towns facing similar developments.
