The "build with impunity" doesn't self-identify as such, and they would probably describe their position with more nuance. Something like "ensuring continued American economic growth and tech leadership while taking 'reasonable' precautions to reduce environmental harm"

If you haven't met any "oppose data centers in all cases" people, I would politely and earnestly recommend expanding your circle. AI and data center construction is extremely unpopular across political lines right now. Just about every politically engaged person I know who isn't in tech is strongly opposed to both (opinions often hypocritically expressed on Facebook, Instagram, Reddit, etc).
