These facilities house computers, servers, and data storage infrastructure and have existed for a long time.
podcast-host
But to support the extraordinary demands of artificial intelligence, they have grown exponentially lately.
podcast-host
Tech giants have built huge facilities that are noisy, pollute, and require huge amounts of energy and water.

Technology advocates have pushed their agenda by claiming they will dramatically expand the economy, and the Trump administration has backed their ambitions.

Trump even brought billionaire Elon Musk into the administration after he poured almost two hundred million dollars into getting Trump elected.
podcast-host
But opposition to the data centers is bipartisan and growing as they appear to symbolize the takeover of our system by a few wealthy men like Musk.
podcast-host
