Communities across America just did something big tech never expected. In only three months over 800 citizen groups spread across 49 states pushed back against giant AI data centers and stalled projects worth nearly 130 billion dollars. 🏘️ Residents are worried about rising electricity bills, water shortages, constant noise, and tax breaks handed to companies worth trillions. Researchers at Data Center Watch call this the biggest quarterly slowdown they have tracked since 2023.
This is not just a tech story. It is about neighbors demanding a say in how their towns grow. ⚡ A Gallup survey found 71 percent of Americans do not want a data center built near their home. When ordinary people organize this fast, even the world's richest companies have to listen. 💧
