It's your way to love.
It's your answer to what should I watch?
It's your money to save.
It's been so shocking because I think it's a scale of change in public opinion that I didn't know was still possible in the U.S.
I mean, I think...
You mentioned it in the intro, but I think we're used to a new president coming in and everyone, if it's a Democrat, getting a little more conservative, you know, if it's a Republican voters getting a little more liberal.
But we're not used to seeing these huge issues pop up on which the public goes from having one view or probably not really having a view to being very hardened in their opposition.
And that's what we've seen with AI data centers.
So to throw some numbers at this.
Yeah, please.
So at Heatmap, we cover climate change, decarbonization, and the energy transition.
Because of that, we started covering public attitudes toward, at first, renewables.
And then because of the scale of the AI boom, we started asking about AI data centers as well.
And so every quarter, we poll about 4,000 Americans, and we said, would you support or oppose a data center being built near where you live?
We asked that question in August of last year, and Americans were very split.
There were about 43 in support and 42% against.
We asked it again in the spring.
And this time, 21% of Americans said they would support a data center being built near where they live, and 71% said they would oppose it.
So it is a staggering shift, basically, in how Americans feel about this industry and about this form of land use in their communities.
Yeah, totally.
