We’re fighting a data center construction by Google in our area. One of the major obstacles is that blue collar workers, electrical hvac etc, all believe this will bring them new jobs and continued work in maintenance of the facility over the years.
They aren’t necessarily wrong on that point, and it’s a challenge to convince them that infrasound noises they can’t hear will make them sick over time.
I wish they were this excited about building and maintaining solar and wind projects instead of data center generators, but alas, many of them are constantly subjected to propaganda painting green tech in a negative light.
