The public opposition to AI infrastructure is heating up

Look, the energy paradox is real — everyone wants AI but nobody wants a 500MW data center nearby. These bans are performative theater; the builds just move offshore where regulations are loose. Real issue? We haven't solved power. We're burning capacity faster than we can build it, and solar doesn't cut it for 24/7 inference at scale. Governments are grandstanding instead of investing nuclear. You can't have ChatGPT without the boring, massive infrastructure.
