If you care about the environment, you should WANT data centers in the US. China doesn't give AF about emissions , regulations, policy improvements! Stop being manipulated!!
OpenAI has published a report detailing how China-linked influence campaigns against data centers used ChatGPT. engadget.com/2191966/openai-…

Just ask yourself: Why would China-linked actors amplify America’s data center debate? Data centers have legitimate challenges. Those challenges should drive innovation. Not drive political division. The debate should be efficiency, not deficiency. Foreign influence turning internal debates into strategic weakness. We are being played. politico.com/news/2026/06/10…

Two to three years of construction. Twenty to thirty years of operations. This is not temporary. This is infrastructure.
Eastern Oregon shows how data centers can become part of a local economic development strategy. When planned well, these projects can support jobs, tax revenue, schools, infrastructure, and long-term regional growth. Data centers are digital infrastructure, but their impact is local. hermistonherald.com/2025/05/…

The industry critics call an energy threat just restarted Three Mile Island. 20-year deal. $1 billion DOE loan. Microsoft, Google, Amazon, and Meta all followed with their own nuclear deals. Every major tech company is now a nuclear power customer. The narrative is not keeping up with the facts.

Eastern Oregon figured it out. Data centers bring jobs, tax revenue, and long term regional investment to communities that need it. This is what it looks like when local leaders and industry work together instead of against each other.

Classic move. Discredit the messenger. Ignore the facts. So let's say you win. No more data centers. The engineers and HVAC roles that drive efficiency technologies to improve the grid... Gone. No internet. No streaming. No cloud. No social media. And you would be crying to turn the internet back on.

We have to start from the same reality. Data centers are being built. That is not propaganda. It is FACTS. The only real question is whether they get built here, by American workers, under American regulation, generating American tax revenue, with American communities helping shape the policy. Helping test, shape and innovate the technologies to make things more efficient. Or whether we step aside and let China lead the next 30 years of global digital infrastructure instead. That is the debate.

Stop confusing the problem with the industry funding the solution. The biggest leaps in energy efficiency have never come from regulators or activists. They come from the people paying the bills. Data centers are the largest forcing function the clean energy grid has ever seen. They are not just consuming these technologies. They are running real-world trials at a scale no government program or research lab can replicate. Microsoft alone has signed wind and solar agreements that dwarf what most utilities ever reach. Industrial water reuse. Closed-loop cooling. 24/7 carbon-free energy commitments. None of that exists without the pressure of massive demand behind it.

Cheap power, property tax revenue, and jobs landed in a rural county that needed all three. The people who actually live in Quincy called it "miraculous." That's called success. The debate should be about managing growth, not stifling it. yoursourceone.com/columbia_b…

Texas is currently the fourth largest data center market in the world behind Northern Virginia, the Pacific Northwest, and Columbus, Ohio. According to a March 2026 JLL report, it is on track to become the largest market on earth by 2030, driven by energy availability, land, and a business-friendly environment. datacenterdynamics.com/en/ne…

Our CEO Jensen Huang took the stage earlier this week with @Dell CEO @MichaelDell to unveil a major update to the Dell AI Factory with NVIDIA, the full-stack platform powering the next wave of autonomous AI agents in the enterprise. From deskside workstations to massive data center racks running NVIDIA Vera Rubin, enterprise AI has never moved this fast.

Data centers are becoming core infrastructure for the AI economy. Microsoft’s “community-first” framework is a useful model: pay for needed utility upgrades, reduce water impact, create local jobs, strengthen the tax base, and invest in AI training. blogs.microsoft.com/on-the-i…

America’s AI boom is creating demand for construction and skilled trade workers needed to build data centers. As this growth continues, investing in grid upgrades and energy infrastructure will strengthen the economy, support future job creation and sustain U.S. AI leadership. bloomberg.com/news/articles/…

Data center work is putting electricians, welders, and pipefitters into six-figure pay. This isn't a tech story. It's a trades story.
Surging demand for workers means six-figure pay and more perks. on.wsj.com/4rngBi5

The data center industry isn't just for engineers and developers. It's one of the fastest-growing sources of high-paying trade jobs in the country. Electricians, HVAC techs, pipefitters, welders. Workers earning 25 to 30% more than in other industries, with careers that can span a decade on a single campus. Data centers are the factories of the digital age, and the people building and running them deserve that recognition. datacenterknowledge.com/oper…

Exactly. Data centers are the physical backbone behind the services people now depend on every day. Healthcare, banking, education, public services, small business tools, AI, cloud storage, and communications all rely on secure digital infrastructure.
Every secure online transaction, every virtual doctor visit, every kid accessing world-class education from their living room—thank the data centers making it possible.
