Some of the reaction to data center build outs has become irrational but frankly I see it as a reflection of the arrogance of the billionaire tech elite. Voters were told:

- AI is going to take your jobs

- We need to build our data centers for this job stealing tool

- We need to build so quickly that there’s no time to do accurate assessments of what this will do to water or power supplies

Turns out people don’t like that. Who could have guessed? Anyone not living in a bubble.
