Americans' dissatisfaction with the construction of data centers was reflected in the US elections - in at least 38 municipalities, voters supported bans or restrictions on the construction of such facilities. According to the "Washington Post", in several states where a large number of such projects are concentrated, Democratic candidates who advocated curbing the development of the industry won the mid-term elections. In particular, Gina Hinojosa won in Texas, who promised to introduce a moratorium on new projects, and Amy Acton, who also advocated restrictions, won in Ohio. The residents' dissatisfaction is related to noise, high water and electricity consumption, as well as fear of an increase in electricity bills. Seven out of ten Americans oppose building new data centers in their communities, according to a poll by WP, ABC News and Ipsos. By early August, more than 145 such construction projects had been delayed or canceled in the United States, according to S&P Global. Most of the decisions resulted from the opposition of local residents. The election results could push more politicians to support regulation of the industry. More IZ RU news in max.
