That doesn't illegitimatize the concerns though? Besides data centers like AI are a proxy for a bigger debate about inequality, wealth concentration, power concentration etc. Trying to isolate it down to data centers or displace the blame on to foreign actors is really just doing their work for them.

It wouldn't work as well as a tactic if the concerns weren't legitimate..

I really like the laws just passed in Oregon to protect regular folk from energy prices. From the sounds of it - energy prices will DECREASE for the average person.
