Brett Meiselas on Data Centers: I think this is yet another example of Donald Trump choosing the 20 side of an 80/20 issue and going to that and showing that he's a president of the billionaires for the billionaires, by the billionaires, his own people be damned. If you... show more

Brett Meiselas on opposition to AI data centers: "It is really the clearest and most physical representation right now of the class divide in our country, of what billionaires are doing and what billionaires want to force on the people, and what the people actually want."

🚨 JUST IN: JD Vance helps to clarify President Trump's stance on data centers, highlighting his desire for data centers to put power BACK into the grid "I think probably 99% of the backlash to data centers has come in areas where building a data center means higher utility and higher electricity for the people on the ground." "If you build a data center, you should be putting power back into the grid, not taking it out, and if that is happening, I don't think the data centers are that controversial."

ASML CEO on Elon Musk's Data Centers in space and Terafab: "I think you need a certain amount of data centers and they will be in space, they will be on the earth. I think the discussion about data centers in space is to address another potential bottleneck in the ecosystem, which is energy. I think the discussion around putting data center in space is there because if you do that, the energy consumption or the energy availability will be there, about trying to solve another potential big issue, which is energy for data center. I think the Terafab is an example of a major fab project."

.President Donald J. Trump on data centers: "If you pick the right location, what it means for a community is jobs and lots of money and lower taxes. The data centers now are mandated by me that they build their own electricity, so they're not taking it from the grid."

✨ hasanabi finds out that David Crowley, the Democratic nominee for Governor in Wisconsin, is to the right on the issue of data centers of Tom Tiffany. This is insane. It's over for Crowley: "I just checked: Tom Tiffany launched his campaign with a hard line on data centers. Tom Tiffany is going to outflank David Crowley on data centers. Oh my god. Oh my god, it's literally the same as Donald Trump being like, 'I'm going to bring to peace to Palestine, I'm going to bring peace to Gaza. I'm going to end all the wars.' Everything used to be a relitigation of 2016 and now everything is relitigation of 2024. I'm fucking losing my mind."

PabloReports: What do you make of Trump saying Americans who oppose data centers are backwards and poor? Luna: My opponent heavily invested in data centers. I think the issue right now is what the people of each state are going to decide is best for them.

“Facts don’t really matter for the de-growth mob.” — The Washington Post’s James Hohmann The anti–data center hysteria around water was built on a bogus stat about a data center’s water consumption in Chile that was off by a factor of 1,000. All U.S. data centers use less than 0.5% of America’s freshwater. The war on data centers is built on junk math and is funded by China and foreign billionaires!

PabloReports: What do you make of Trump saying Americans who oppose data centers are backwards and poor? Khanna: What happened to Trump caring about the forgotten Americans? You know who data centers help? The coastal elites and billionaires in my district, the people Trump ran against. You know who they hurt? Communities in Pennsylvania where I grew up. They’re jacking up electricity prices. They’re shoving these extractive data centers down the throats of communities.

Hunt: So, who’s right on data centers? President Trump or Governor Shapiro? Fetterman: Oh, the president is actually right overall. I mean, you know, uh, we we used to be moving forward on data centers and now, I mean, he's actually scared by the polls. So I mean, what really what's really motivated by more than just the polls overall, you know, I set out I set up my message on it on data centers just a couple days on X where I'm saying it's, you know, the president happens to be right in this. You know, I think it's it's very necessary that we win the war on AI. Uh, we, I think it's necessary because AI is going to transform our world. And, you know, it can be either us be the leaders or it can be the Chinese. And we could we could live under those rules and they're going to build unlimited data centers. And they're not really, uh, really stopped by with the kind of like democracy and the kinds of rules that, that we have overall, I think it's important. And I would remind people, like a lot of the opposition is, is been driven by the ccp and a lot of a lot of influence. So I think now withwith data centers, uh, also there's the facts now that it, it consumes a very, very, maybe one tenth of 1%, you know, compared to almonds and compared to other other things, part of our economy and also our land usage as well, too. Pennsylvania, you know, we are energy rich, we are water rich. And we have we're land rich now. So I think it's an important part of our economy, not just for Pennsylvania's but also the country right now.

El-Sayed: So he's at this press conference where he's touting all eight Democrats who support him in somebody's front yard. And he gets asked by a really smart, enterprising local reporter about his position on data centers. And the man clearly hasn't actually thought about his position on data centers. And the man clearly hasn't actually thought about his position on data centers, because he does whatever Donald Trump or the corporations tell him to do. And he's like, I think we should take a pause. And then his his his team trying to make up for the fact that he just made policy from the hip because he hasn't taken the time to think about it, issues a press release calling for a statewide moratorium. But guess what? He's running for U.S. Senate, meaning he can't actually do anything at the state level. These aren't serious people. These are corporate shills who are bought off by the companies who stand to benefit at our loss. And he stuck again between what the voters actually want and what Donald Trump and the corporations who control him want.

Wow look at that. A perfectly reasonable position on data centers if you care about the environment, protecting local communities, and minimizing the proliferation of hyperscale AI projects. Surely this won’t be an issue for leftists to support him?

Radel: Do you think that’s right? Ellzey: I’m not going to comment on something I didn’t see. Radel: Do you support data centers? Ellzey: We have some data centers in our community that have been really good neighbors.

🚨 President Trump just DROPPED this line on data centers: "What it means for a community is jobs and lots of money and lowers taxes!" "And the data centers now are mandated by me that they build their own electricity, so they're not taking it from the grid!" "It's going to lower the electricals because they're building electricity, and the extra, as an example, we talked about this one, I'm very proud of it. It was my idea." "They're going to build their own electric producing facility. And that electricity that they have left over is going to the grid. It's going to lower the cost of electricity."

AOC: An alternative point of consideration here, in terms of New York State’s recent moratorium—the kind of thought that, well, if you don’t want to build in your backyard, then maybe you shouldn’t have access to compute. We could say to the Silicon Valley billionaires who are constructing, pushing, and imposing these data centers on communities that are overwhelmingly rural, disenfranchised, and poor. Ask if they want one of these data centers in their own backyard. Ask any one of us here on this committee. If anyone wants to live right next to one of these centers, please raise your hand.

Jeffries: The notion that everyday Americans need to absorb pain brought on by Donald Trump and his group of MAGA billionaires is ridiculous. Every single House and Senate Republican supporting this needs to be thrown out of office. This is probably the first time in our history that an American president is intentionally crashing the economy and driving us toward a recession. He didn’t tell us about this when he was on the campaign trail last year. They have no mandate for any of this.
