在美国各地，反对人工智能数据中心建设的声浪正跨越党派界限，农民、环保组织与地方社区担忧数据中心扩张占用农田、消耗水资源并推高电费 1。7月福克斯新闻民调显示，大多数登记选民反对在本地建设数据中心，包括60%的共和党人和53%的MAGA选民 1。面对公众的担忧，多位州级官员已采取限制措施：纽约州州长凯茜·霍楚尔下令对大型数据中心实施一年禁令，得克萨斯州州长格雷格·阿博特宣布暂停批准新数据中心直至审计完成 1。
在内布拉斯加州，数据中心对农业用地的侵占引发了直接行动，卡斯县批准12个月暂停数据中心开发 1。能源公司Tenaska计划在75号公路沿线获取1300多英亩土地，数据中心运营商CyrusOne在普拉茨茅斯外控制近400英亩土地 1。当地土地通常每英亩售价10,000美元，开发商有时出价四倍或更多 1。
与此同时，新墨西哥州1650亿美元的“木星计划”数据中心综合体因水资源争议遭紧急诉讼 1。甲骨文承诺向多尼亚安娜县水和废水系统投资5000万美元，并称“木星计划”将产生47亿美元税收，创造7000多个建筑岗位和1500个长期岗位 1。甲骨文估计其闭环冷却和燃料电池系统15年内每年可节省2100万加仑水 1。生物多样性中心上周向新墨西哥州最高法院提交紧急请愿书 1。此外，新墨西哥州最大水库容量仅为1.3% 1。
尽管特朗普和部分工会领袖支持数据中心带来的就业与经济收益，但多地官员和选民对数据中心快速扩张持反对态度 1。
Across the United States, opposition to the rapid expansion of artificial intelligence data centers is uniting voters from both sides of the political aisle, as farmers, environmental organizations, and local communities express concerns over the loss of agricultural land, excessive water consumption, and rising electricity bills 1. A July Fox News poll revealed that a majority of registered voters oppose the construction of data centers in their local areas, a sentiment shared by 60% of Republicans and 53% of MAGA voters 1. Although Trump and certain union leaders have backed these facilities for their promised economic benefits and job creation, numerous local officials and constituents remain strongly against their swift proliferation 1.
In Nebraska, Cass County has officially approved a 12-month moratorium on data center development 1. The region has seen aggressive land acquisitions, with the energy company Tenaska planning to option more than 1,300 acres along Highway 75, and data center operator CyrusOne controlling nearly 400 acres outside Plattsmouth 1. This surge in demand has driven up real estate prices; while local farmland typically sells for $10,000 per acre, developers are sometimes offering four times that amount or even more 1.
Meanwhile, in New Mexico, the Center for Biological Diversity filed an emergency petition with the state Supreme Court last week to halt the $165 billion Project Jupiter data center complex over water disputes, noting that the state's largest reservoir is currently at only 1.3% capacity 1. Oracle pledged a $50 million investment into the Doña Ana County water and wastewater system 1. The company also stated that Project Jupiter would generate $4.7 billion in tax revenue, create over 7,000 construction jobs and 1,500 permanent positions, and utilize closed-loop cooling and fuel cell systems estimated to save 21 million gallons of water annually over a 15-year period 1.
In New York, Governor Kathy Hochul has ordered a one-year ban on the construction of large data centers 1. In Texas, Governor Greg Abbott announced a pause on the approval of new data centers until an audit is completed 1.
