## Resource

The Alabama governor’s race is unexpectedly pivoting on AI data centers, as voters grapple with environmental, traffic, and infrastructure concerns sparked by secretive deals. Senator Tommy Tuberville champions AI as economic gold, dismissing worries as foreign propaganda, while Doug Jones admits the tech boom disrupts communities but offers little concrete solutions. With Huntsville’s chaotic growth as a cautionary tale, Tuberville’s win-or-lose approach risks alienating voters—unless he learns to listen before he leads.
