Data Center Revolution · Ep 147: Why Data Centers Will Rebuild the Middle Class with Greg Genung - Part 1 · 12 May 2026 podcast

So of course, groups that oppose us

The only way they're going to slow us down is to go fuel these grassroots.

I'm not saying there's a few of them that aren't legitimate, but there are definitely state-sponsored agencies that are helping lead and champion and organize this NIMBY protest.

Because if I'm China and I can't get my energy fast enough to support my boost and growth of AI, because AI is just a mass consumer of energy,

then what I'm going to have to do is I'm going to have to slow down the opponent.

And we're the opponent.

We're number one.

So people that are non-Americans and don't share our interests are definitely contributing to the NIMBY push.

So we're going to continuously be...

battling this, but we didn't do ourselves any favors building data centers and backyards.

We got to go building where people don't see.

So you think the pain point is the locations?

I think the optics are shit.

Yeah.

I mean, like, listen, when we were doing it though, well, look, first one through the walls of the bloodiest building cloud.

I mean,

We consumers are the ones that drove the demand for that.

So they're like, we're going to build it here right now.

Yeah, we have to put it where people don't see it.
