A huge problem for Democratic governance is lack of trust in the federal government.
So Democrats should *definitely* help pass a bill that guts democratic participation in major infrastructure built in people’s backyards.

So this linkedin post, which I ostensibly agree with, just popped on my lil feed.
And it's like - why did this person need an LLM to generate the text, and an image model to generate a data centre cooling plant image?
That's easily *millions* times more energy than writing + stock pic

Fact-check: Trump says US data center opposition is a 'China PR thing'
President Donald Trump attempted to discredit widespread opposition to U.S. data centers by chalking the backlash up to a foreign adversary: China. “You know, a lot of people say that it’s a China PR thing,” Trump told Fox News host Laura Ingraham on Sept. 10 in response to a question about why people don’t want data centers in their backyards. Trump was set to meet Chinese leader Xi Jinping in Washington on Thursday amid increased pressure for the U.S. government to regulate AI following breaches from automated agents and high-level concerns of existential risks. Trump has characterized such fears as a “hoax.” He is not alone in pinning local disapproval to external influence, mainly from China. Interior Secretary Doug Burgum has blamed pushback on data center buildout on “foreign source dark money,” “foreign psy-ops campaigns” and “foreign-directed propaganda.” “There’s a concentrated information propaganda war that’s geotargeted,” Burgum said in May on Fox Business. “Any place that’s trying to build data centers is getting bombarded with foreign-directed propaganda to try to block these from being built.” In Congress, Republican lawmakers asked the FBI and the President’s Council of Advisers on Science and Technology in June for a briefing on how the...

Yes, exactly. People don't want data centers in their backyards, but there has not been the clear connection to climate and broader anti-AI movement as far as I can tell.
i did a little Climate Week postmortem on data centers: co2 emissions are far & away the most alarming part of the buildout. but there hasn't been much of a reckoning beyond climate spaces
kind of wondering when it'll enter the larger convo, if at all, and what that may look like

The Data Center Backlash Should Also Be a Climate Reckoning. It Isn’t Yet
Climate groups are latching onto the data center opposition movement, but it remains to be seen if they can get people to care about the facilities’ impact on the atmosphere.

Residents from the Dublin 7 area are staging a protest outside City Hall this evening over plans to replace bin bag collection with wheelie bins.
