## Resource

Data centers are sparking a political firestorm as lawmakers clash over whether to halt new construction, citing soaring energy demands and rising utility costs for everyday Americans. Progressive voices like AOC and Bernie Sanders push for moratoriums, framing these facilities as symbols of corporate excess and environmental harm, while supporters tout economic gains and national security. Governors once eager to attract tech investments are now tightening regulations amid public backlash, highlighting the tension between innovation and local impact — a classic battle over who pays the price for digital progress.
