The retort camp
Supporters amplify the challenge: if data centers are such a gift, build one next to Mar-a-Lago and show us. The mockery runs both ways, with right-wing accounts daring AOC to host one in her district.
The build-anyway camp
Growth and security voices say slamming the brakes would be devastating, and call opponents hypocrites posting their objections from iPhones.
The siting camp
A middle camp insists the fight was never for or against data centers, it is about where they go and who absorbs the grid, water, and property costs.
