The US data center industry provides significant benefits to local communities—creating hundreds of thousands of high-wage jobs…

Bullshit. Real tired of this argument. It’s well known that datacenters are minimally staffed. Iowa got one and they convinced people that it would bring high paying jobs. Of course it didn’t. The high paying jobs are in tech centers, and even then they are less and less. Data centers are meant to just run with minimal involvement from humans. Everyone should fight for them to not be near them.

It won’t matter in the slightest.
