AI data centers are sparking bipartisan backlash ahead of the midterms, with politicians from both parties cracking down on their environmental and economic impacts. In Florida, GOP gubernatorial winner Byron Donalds proposed restrictions despite AI PAC support, while Pennsylvania’s Democratic governor signed strict new rules. Voters are furious over soaring energy bills, water usage, and job displacement — even joking about using pee for cooling. The NRSC labels it a “sleeper issue,” and even Trump admits these hubs need better PR. Tech giants like Microsoft and OpenAI vow to be good neighbors, but lawmakers aren’t buying it — New York just imposed a year-long moratorium. The fight is heating up fast.
