Inside a raucous 'pro-data center' party defying the backlash
Original: What data center backlash? My night at a raucous 'pro-data center' party.
A Business Insider reporter attended a lively 'pro-data center' party and found little sign of the backlash against data centers that has dominated headlines in many communities. The event, covered in a first-person account, suggests support for data center construction remains vocal in some circles, even as opposition grows elsewhere over energy use, water consumption and noise. The piece frames the gathering as a counterpoint to the prevailing narrative of local resistance.
Why now: Data centers are a hot topic as AI growth fuels both expansion plans and local opposition, making any pro-data center counter-narrative newsworthy.
