They need to put these next to the politicians who approved these in their area and see how they like it.

It’s a horrible blight, these data centers have taken the place of forested land, destroyed wildlife habitat and are an environmental hazard. Yes they are ugly, they radiate heat, use enormous quantities of water and electricity. It’s devastating to see these monstrosities take over the very thing that supports our lives and nurtures our wellbeing.

Good luck trying to evict them (the corp) once they buy the local politicians and rig everything.

It’s also noise that you can hear and feel, which is what makes it so bad. People talk about having anxiety and issues sleeping - I’m sensitive to noise myself(especially low frequency) and the thought of living near one of these things puts a knot in my stomach.

The data center should be forced to pay market value to all those home owners for their homes so they can move.
