Forty-five data center projects worth $68 billion delayed in the United States

In the United States, 45 data center projects worth $68 billion were reportedly delayed or blocked due to local opposition between April and June. This opposition is growing, with numerous groups active across the country and significant public sentiment against such developments. Independent confirmation of these claims remains limited, and the political implications are evolving as candidates adjust their positions in response to voter concerns about the impact of data centers on local communities.
