## Resource

Senator Tommy Tuberville is aggressively pushing Alabama to embrace data centers, dismissing public concerns as “bullcrap” and blaming outside forces. While he sees them as the future of economic growth, voters in Georgia have shown strong bipartisan opposition, electing officials who reject new data center projects. Meanwhile, towns like Sterling, Virginia, are being transformed by these massive facilities — concrete behemoths that bring noise, pollution, and disruption, often powered by constant-running generators. Though touted for tax revenue, the jobs created are limited, and resources are diverted from other industries. The real decision should belong to the communities directly impacted — not politicians ignoring local realities.
