You were asking for good reason against the data centers - I would imagine not being complicit in the detrimental effects caused by burning exorbitant amounts of fossils for electricity could be one of them.

Advancing civilization will require increasing energy use, yes. That's always been the long-term trend of development.

How is that working out environmentally?

I think people would be more open to the data center buildout if the data center projects built their own clean energy infrastructure

The problem is that anyone who actually cares about such thing has like a dozen better venues to deal with it than data centers, yet they haven't in their lives thought of a single one.

We can certainly tell people it's illegal to emit pollution into the air.

It's literally illegal to build apartments almost everywhere.

Do you think this is good?

What are you talking about? We can and do tell people what they can and can't do with their land all the time. That's what zoning laws do.
