Just exacrly what data is fucking being gathered and stored?. I dont want to be gathered and stored.
Assbott is also trying to stop the rich from being tax. His little want for a pause is nothing more than pondering for votes.
No one wants a damn data center. In their backyard
Republicans that are saying “let’s pause” are just trying to win and then start it up again.
I normally can’t stand CNN but this is a non partisan issue. Most Americans do not want data centers in their area. And most don’t want flock cameras. I know the intent of this was to make the democrat nominee look good but still it a valid point that these data centers are very unpopular.
Fake news with another backlash 😂
Ludites always complain about progress. Data centers are too far. Automation is too far. Assembly lines are too far. The cotton gin is too far. Reading is too far. When should we have stopped?
processors don't require water to be cooled... Data centers aren't for "ai", there for all the information your cellphone, car, flock and other surveillance gathering to sell your info and tax you to the "entities" that pay for it or want to tax you because of it
The problem, is that data center construction is the only thing carrying an otherwise bleak economy. We would be in a deep recession without the data center boom.
No data centers. No DNA’s. No. AIPAC. No corporate Dems. No Citizens United.
Let them use golf courses for data centers. Yeah, that's not happening. In the meantime, our lands and protected forests are in very real danger of disappearing.
ALL YOU PEOPLE ARE STUPID HYPOCRITES COMPLAINING ABOUT DATA CENTERS IN YOUR CITIES BUT REFUSING TO TRASH YOUR CELL PHONES AWAY
Ask about Michael Zunich and his patent’s
AI data centers are an existential threat to humanity.
The data centers are being built by the wealthy to take over the world. Politicians are in the bag. This is just round #1. The electric grid can’t be upgraded fast enough which is why the hyperscalers are also building gas turbine “farms” with battery banks so they can run’em 24x7. Say good bye to peace and quiet. The mecha generation is coming. Nuclear power will arrive a bit later then its game over.
Data Centers are NOT a political hot topic. This is CNN trying to find a newsworthy narrative which is basically a dead end. Yes, the people near data centers may not be happy but that is less than .00001% of the population. Nice try 😉
Data centers are unpopular. Us watching this on YouTube isn't. If only politicians were authentic. Then stop using your phone and AI to make stupid memes.
Those things are ruining my hometown area.
Everything isn’t a fucking conspiracy. There’s plenty of room for data centers. We need them. America is rich in natural resources. I thought you people liked Progress.
The government wants the data centers. Both sides want total control of the American population.
Let’s put a Data Center at Mara Lago think
Normal data centers are going to face collateral damage thanks to AI. AI only data centers like Star gate need to shut down. But we need normal data centers that power the internet. You wouldn’t be able to use YouTube, play multiplayer games, watch 4K movies without data centers.
A single cell phone can hold tens of thousands of photos, dozens of movies, hundreds of apps, and data equivalent to the NYC public library. Current computer faciities hold more information and calculating powere than is necessary for all companies to currently conduct business. What data is about to be collected on us that requires these massive data centers? Tracking every citizen in real time and what else?
Thank you China!
Immigrants are not taking your jobs dipsxxts! It’s AI! 😂
Throw your phones in the trash then we won't need so many data centers.
Yeah, I don't falling for Chinese propaganda
Environmental impacts, water use, and electricity increases are red herrings. This is really about people afraid for their work-from-home jobs being replaced by AI. Honesty will be important here for these industrial uses.
I don't trust most of the people in government concerning data centers honestly, so many of them lie through their teeth smh.
Fuck A.I.
We the people have spoken. The answer is no, hell no and uh uh.
No data centers and no more support to israel.
Because they arent listening to their constituents at all. In my area we had a commissioner tell us he had mote support for it than against but when his emails were FOIA it was 87% against. That dipshit is out of a job now.
Big Tech Companies want them for "Profits and Market Power" To track everything you see and do..All your 'Data' they will receive for FREE! 🤬
Hello, Ohio, TX, FL - you wanna wake TF already and vote correctly?
Im in the small minority on this one. Im for data centers. Put them way out of town but keep building them. If we don’t progress China is going to annihilate us economically. Mark my word! But Im thinking longterm and almost no one does that.
Do Americans NOT understand the Level of MONEY - BRIBE MONEY these republican politicians are taking from these Tech Companies to Sell OUT their states? The figures are Staggering.
there will be a correction, just as every other boom cycle from novel emerging technological revolutions. Yes, venture capital financing are "overspending". We absolutely feed this monster as we did building the internet developement. Most of any hype cycle is fueled by lofty expectations of growth from the perception of outcomes that we do not quite understand. AI is going to kill all jobs, the government will have to give everybody a UBI monthly check so they can buy the crap that companies sell that fired everyone. All companies will have 1 employee. LOL! 1st of all why would a company fire you to now be required to give you money to sit on your ass? There are no consumers income tax, right, they dont work! Additionally, your capitalist government would never pay you do do nothing! Have you noticed the whole UBI bullshit fears evaporated.? You had the AI founders/leaders actually warning that they feared jobs will be replaced. They themselves started this. Now because of no massive layoffs and the emerging next wave in this cycle, "the show me the money faze" companies are finding that their workers using this shit are more productive and the AI leaders who once said doom/gloom are retracting these fears. And yes, these private AI companies want to go public and they are cutting their throats if they fuel doom/gloom but companies and individuals are finding not only cost saving from AI but increased productivity and efficiencies.Given however, many companies are unwisely throwing money at adoption while previously paying high token costs and with no real gains. This is the process at work! Cheap open source Chinese models are forcing AI providers to restructure expensive LLM's into routing companies workloads to cheaper often locally run models and limiting more costly workloads to the clod when needed. Again, adaptation, competition, resillency. There in lies the fear of being left out and the inevitable greed that fuels the boom cycle of an unproven fury of expectation. Many companies will fail. Yahoo, Lycos, Exite falls and a new little startup Google emerges and thrives. A small online bookstore will soon kill brick and mortal Borders and Waldenbooks. A startup Amazon soon will not only sell books but everything giving Walmart competition and local businesses . We over built the railroads just as we over built fiber optic and internet structure but as cycles bust there is resiliency and new growth and we then used all of that capacity. So will be the AI revolution. We will bust and correct, then plateau and slowly rebound. The Gartner Hype Cycle at play again. Tracks how expectations and maturity for new technologies evolve over time, moving through five distinct phases from initial breakthrough to mainstream adoption.
China is behind the anti-data center campaign. There is no problem with the field of Artificial Intelligence… It’s in the best state ever and America is leading!
Listen! Anything can happen, here's my prediction. It is correct to say that most people that are victums of these "data center apocalypse" DID NOT know about it until their country bumkin cousin told them about it! They didn't know what the fck AI was! And they still don't understand it! All they know is that supposedly their energy bill went up, their local water supply is being used, they use massve gas turbines that pollute the air, and the fckin data centers create constant low frequency sounds from the collective hum of 1000s of hot ass GPUs running. Lets top that off with the nerve of their Govenor and local city/county to accept this because that got handed a bag of cash! ALL TRUE and valid points to have "folks" bring their pitch forks to a town hall and legitimately BITCH. what's that you say? Why am i stereotyping dumb country folk? Don't they build them in urban areas? YES some, but do you know why they pick poor rural areas that have water supplies and corrupt Governors of poor country land that can easily be handed a bag of cash? Because your government don't give a fck about you and by the time you figure it out you are already fcked! But you aren't going to stand for this. You and your cousins are registered voters in these parts. You are going to yell about it at the TOWN HALL, meanwhile the multi-billion dollar project from a tech executive vould buy your entire city. So here we are the pitchforks are getting ready to make NIMBY to datacenters a top issue AND THEY SHOULD! Guess what? These data centers ARE NOT GOING ANYWHERE! All of the <br>aforementioned problems are solvable with technology and changes in guidlines/restrictions and regulations. Good news you are going to say yes to datacenters because now not only are they going to use closed system recycled water cooling systems (new construction already does) so they are not wasting your water, construction will not blow your foundation to shit from the dynamite used, regulated air quality will require alternate power solutions, batteries, solar, wind and yes NUCLEAR! They are already starting to be required to not only not drive your energy costs up but actually drive costs <a href="http://down.in/">down.In</a> 5 years because of the power needed nuclear power plants will be built to not only power the center but drive local cost down. And no one is going to say NIMBY, this is not the 70's 3 mile island anymore. Sound will be suppressed with internal/external noise absorbing material. Micro-Scale (Server Cabinets): High-end, "plug-and-play" soundproof micro-data centers deploy this hybrid model directly on the floor. Enclosures like the USystems EDGE-3 feature dense, foam-dampened passive air channels paired with active, dynamically controlled fan arrays to muffle server screeching down to a whisper.Macro-Scale (Facility Level): Standard, open-air consumer ANC (like headphones) doesn't scale well to massive rooms because phase control fails when people move around. Instead, data center facilities use specialized industrial ANC—such as ZeroSound IoT panels—which create localized 3D "quiet zones" directly in front of major low-frequency industrial noise polluters like outdoor chillers, while the building envelope itself relies on heavy passive concrete walls and structural vibration isolation. On top of all these changes they are currently discussing funding proposals. a massive wave of public pushback has changed how these deals are negotiated. Lawmakers and communities are now demanding Community Benefit Agreements (CBAs) and proposing strict new federal and state laws to ensure data centers pay into public funds. Because tech companies face severe community opposition, they are increasingly forced to accept CBAs that feature direct payments to towns.The Revenue Proposals: Under frameworks like the proposed Community-Integrated AI & Data Center Development Act, policy researchers are pushing for a requirement where data center operators must contribute at least 0.5% of their gross revenue into a locally administered fund. These direct contributions do not go to individual bank accounts. Instead, they are earmarked for public benefits like financing local infrastructure improvements, school funding, or municipal utility upgrades.The "Data Center Public Investment" Tax: In August 2026, U.S. Senator Ron Wyden introduced a sweeping draft proposal to strip away federal tax incentives from tech companies. His plan aims to levy a gross receipts excise tax on data center operators to generate a consistent revenue stream specifically used to support American workers displaced by AI disruptions. States like Texas, Arizona, and Illinois have moved to eliminate or pause their data center sales tax exemptions. By forcing these centers to pay standard property and sales taxes, local municipalities gain millions in public budget revenue, which can indirectly alleviate the tax burden required to fund local public services. DATACENTERS ARE NOT GOING ANYWHERE. Besides our economy is riding right now on AI! I love how American uses this idea that we can't let China win the AI race, LOL, nobody WINS wars and you can't "win" a emerging technological developement that changes every day. It called competition and if you stop, you get left behind! Its and onggoing process. There is no "congratulations, you have won the AI race" you can stop now! You lead one month and then you get leap frogged, back to the grindstone.China may not be leading but they are driving the cost of "compute" down significantly with cheap open source models. This forces the US AI companies to lower costs. Soon it will be a commoditized business and the money will be from companies and individuals users who extract value, uses to not only save costs but to create new revenue from applicaations and entirely new opportunities. Once physical manual labor was threaten by technological advancement implementation, now white collar work is being automated. Good news, people always adapt and a new economy will emerge. Agrarian Age gave way to the Industrial which yielded to computer revolution, Digital Age. The "economy of ideas" will emerge. One person or a small business will use agentic AI to drastically lower the cost of turning ideas in to marketable products, goods/services. That guy , maybe you that says "I'm saving money to start a business . Someday, someday. He/she will have cheap agents that substitute a lawyer, a financial planner, paperwork costs, construction, secretary, staff, <a href="http://employees.so/">employees.So</a> many people have passion and great ideas but no capital, no credit. Forevery job replaced there will be a business created.
Outrageous, zero Oath to constitution. Yet it was run on. Right gone left.
Stock up guns ammo, going to become very important. They work on many things. Zero OATH TO CONSTITUTION.
It has started people. The constitution is ignored by all, ALL Gov. Greed of Money. AI is the devil.
Well, let's just say there are a large group of citizens ready to ambush and sabotage these data centers, hypothetically of course.
They dont like data centers but then use AI in everything from cheating on an essay to AI agenting everything under the sky. Like complaining about Walmart and then go buy everything from it.
Messaging like this is how you get Trump elected for a third term. The left is a party of losers.
After the election everyone will forget and then they'll get built anyway. Because in this country money wins EVERY SINGLE TIME.
Im concerned with farm land reductions for this....lack of environmental studies, transparency and local impact studies. Also the people should have a choice as well
Stop pax 1 dot cam.
You will know them by their fruits
Data Centre's are stupid. Before and Musk could just give lots of households free internet, then use those networks as a slower data Centres, providing heat and internet to families in need, instead of driving other prices up.<br><br>This is what I mean when I say, this system burns three fires to get three jobs done, when one fire shared can get three things done.
I just want to have a future for EVERYONE'S children. We wont survive the greed of oligarchs of we dont stop them.
Do they mine for bitcoin
Yeah, Greg, you have. It is advocating for a pause on data center construction. He wants to pause until after the midterms.
No data centers>no US economic dominance>science decrease>military decrease>reliance on other nations>US falls behind instead of leads. All preventable.
YOU GET A DATA CENTER & YOU GET A DATA CENTER & YOU GET A DATA CENTER & YOU GET A DATA CENTER & YOU GET A DATA CENTER & YOU GET A DATA CENTER & YOU GET A DATA CENTER & YOU GET A DATA CENTER & YOU GET A DATA CENTER & …
Chinese propaganda.
what are they gonna do about it?🤔🇺🇸🤔🌎 I see they’re going up everywhere
Them <b>Data Centers</b> has to do with more than voting!! 😒
Strange thing is there's no criticism towards cryptocurrency database servers even though central banks are already have digital currency with Visa cards MasterCards or debit cards.
Finally something the pedo supporters and the normal people can agree on, I guess?
❤❤❤😍😍😍🔥🔥🔥🔥😘😋💯💯💯Linda.
We need to track your actions so we can sell you cheap crap. All for AI data scraping.
Not enough land for nature and geeen spaces, yet there is for Data centers??<br>Truely sickening.
Has anyone come out and told us how many data centers we will need? Is it endless? The way things are going I feel like it is. How can we actually sustain all these things? We need answers!!!
It's funny how they are all against data centers now, they are the same people that pushed them forward. I have a reality check for everyone, the train is at full speed, they can no longer stop it. These are all just empty words as always.
The fact that the politicians are signing NDAs with the data center companies tells you everything you need to know.<br><br>Ask yourselves why a secrecy pact to hide details from constituents is necessary?
the government can access and analyze massive amounts of personal data stored or processed in data centers, often by purchasing information from commercial data brokers or through legal surveillance authorities.
Local people are the South I have an idea and the take joints won't like it what if we boy got them we just choke them until we did last time in 2025 remember last time we meet someone so mad even he he was first to not do it meaning let's do it again
They just need to spend more buying politicians and media like crypto. They'll be fine.
This problem has been here for a while, at least 15 years, but before the AI bubble, all of this was happening in places like Chile, Bolivia or Peru, and no-one cared about it, even if there was an obvious problem as entire cities were running out of clean water for our confort. Now that it is here, now that it impacts us directly, I hope smarter and more sustainable solutions will emerge🤞. If proven impossible, I really hope we are ready to lose some of the confortable techs we grew used to in the past 15 years, now that we know what others are suffering because of it.
I don't think AI is coming like they are trying to claim. Unless someone makes a HUGE breakthrough, AI is making mistakes and tells lies constantly. I think they are just doing the same thing they did in the dot come bubble, but larger and on purpose! They just keep circulating their big tech money, they want these AI "booms" to get more investment but privately, they are already selling their personal stocks. They are likely going to crash the stock market
You have to ask yourself,if both Republicans and Democrats don't want them,then why are they still being built? 🤔 who's pushing them forward???
Every election has an unseen X factor
“For the time being” aka until the election
Doesn’t matter, both parties support data centers and take huge money from tech donors.
Politicians will just lie and say they’re against them to get elected/re-elected and then go back to pocketing big tech money and shoving data centers down our throats. Nothing will change until we force it, these people in power are ruthless scum.
This reminds me of CTOS
And yet the only reason you see this news article/short video is because of a data center because otherwise the only thing they could do is broadcast in their area. I wouldn’t want a data center near me either, and I’ve taken steps to ensure the fact that I live where they can’t put them unless they buy the local country club which is possible to become either a huge housing development or data center, what else do you do with the country club that needs to go out of business because the famous owner passed away. Considered the fact that you’re online banking and grocery order for pick up or delivery all go through data centers including but not limited to your Amazon orders etc.
Alarmist falling for Chinese lead propaganda. <br>It's about the artificial Intelligence race,stupid!<br>China wants to win.
A pause on building data centers doesn’t mean a thing. It is distraction by the likes of Gov Abbott R-TX.<br><br>The biggest but not sole impact of AI data centers is WATER RESOURCES IN YOUR AREA. <br>Data centers are single use, meaning water is used once to cool equipment, then disposed of. MILLIONS OF GALLONS PER DAY DOWN THE DRAIN. All for the sake of the wealthiest companies & executives on earth not designing water re-use as a key feature into their data centers. WE ARE SUPPOSED TO JUST GO ALONG WITH THIS?<br><br>WATER COST WILL INCREASE with this PATTERN OF MASSIVE USE & WASTE of an INCREASINGLY LIMITED RESOURCE.
Having seen this much Chinese propaganda on a certain industry since they targeted the tobacco industry while we were #2(they are <a href="http://www.youtube.com/results?search_query=%231btw">#1BTW</a>) and took away any worries they had about us being #1. Looks like they are doing that with data centers and AI now.
They’re making our electricity bills go up, but at the same time cutting LIHEAP that helps people with their electricity bill. 🤦🏿♂️
Supporting Data Centers is Support AI from taking your Jobs. Absolutely crazy
In the Philippines there is Pax Silica AKA Trump AI Center.<br>No to Pax Silica,No to Trump AI Center.
Abbott's just a piece of trash
Fill all red states with the data centers and use the ai to replace all the MAGA voters jobs!
All I have to say is if Republicans love data center so much let them build them in their backyard
Trump says anyone against data centers is a domestic terrorist.
Now CNN starts covering it- when they could have been covering it this time last year.
I think one of the main reasons because it was a secret. Nobody knew about data centers until they were already put up.
Nobody wants AI or data centers
NEGATIVE FEEDBACK OF DATA CENTERS IS CHINESE PROPAGANDA! FOLKS NEED TO DO A LITTLE RESEARCH SO THEY CAN FIND OUT THE NEW DATA CENTERS USE VERY LITTLE WATER AND PUT ELECTRICITY INTO THE GRID WHICH MAKES PEOPLES ELECTRIC BILLS CHEAPER. THEY ARE MUCH QUIET. PLUS, data centers BRING JOBS/TAXES TO PAY FOR ROADS/FIRE TRUCKS/POLICE CARS AND NO PROPERTY TAXES. CHINA HAS NEEN PROVEN TO PUSH THIS NEGATIVE PROPAGANDA TO WIN THE AI RACE
DATA CENTERS<br><br>Thousands of Data collection and Storage facilities already exist in America, the US Government has them, Congress has one too,, States Governments, K-12 schools and Universities/Colleges, cities, towns, and villages already have taxpayer's paid for Accessable - DATA CENTERS!!!<br><br>...they're called - LIBRARIES!<br><br>Why are new private digital Mega-data centers ones necessary? <br><br>Because, they're privacy invading collection systems for spying on "WE THE PEOPLE", for nefariius, possibly un-Constitutional purposes, and probably cheating commerce, avoiding government oversight regulations/monitoring, help buy up everything into monopolies and control, track everyone's cellphones and vehicles, FLOCK CAMERA DATA, that's why, 1984 Big Brother's Watching - SH*T...shut 'em down!!!<br><br>The Founding Fathers in Federalist Papers #9 by Alexander Hamilton, and #10 by James Madison warned us about "FACTIONS" gaining control, and ruining America with it, like "Tech bros" are trying to do now!<br><br>Musk's GROK A.I. was used by Trump and Hegseth to bomb/missile strike Iran, killing with two bombs 187 school girls, and 14 teachers - by accident.<br><br>Yo, Musk's Tech Bros, How did Trump really win the 2024 Election over Harris? I guess we won't know until someone follows the money!<br><br>Shut 'em down...they ain't being built to make your life better, freer, they're part of "THE WALL" Pink Floyd sang about, to corral us into a high-tech prison, easy to target critics, free speekers, people who care about others - Liberals, like shooting fish in a barrel with so much data!<br><br>By Dave Pflanz, US Army - Retired, "Keeping it Real"
Damn right. Screw data centers.
Don’t want AI, think for ourselves!
