## Resource

Data centers are exploding across California’s San Joaquin Valley, outpacing local regulations and sparking fierce community backlash. Tulare County has paused new developments after residents feared impacts on water, power, air, and farming; Fresno is moving toward a decade-long ban, citing resource limits. Kings County moves forward with a major project at a naval base, while Modesto and Stanislaus County impose temporary holds to study effects. Water concerns mount in Kern County, where residents challenge claims about massive water use amid ongoing drought — as cities scramble to decide whether these tech giants belong in their communities.
