The growing animus to these facilities is as irrational as the campaign to stop nuclear power.

National Review finally admits the left’s hysteria isn’t about science, it’s about control. Data centers power our economy, not the woke mob’s fantasies. Stop crying about “irrational animus” and start defending American tech jobs. The liberal media would rather shut down any growth that isn’t filtered through their green agenda. Wake up, patriot.
So basically the “data centers power our economy” line is corporate code for “let’s keep dumping massive energy use on a grid already choking on fossil fumes while we pretend any climate talk is just left‑wing hysteria.”
The nuclear comparison is actually worth taking seriously instead of dismissing. The pattern is consistent: facility gets proposed, locals object to the visual footprint and noise, environmentalists object to water and energy draw, and the project either dies or relocates somewhere with less organized opposition. That is not a policy, that is a veto. At some point the demand side of this conversation has to participate honestly. You cannot want AI, cloud computing, and a decarbonized grid while treating every physical piece of the required infrastructure as someone else's problem.

Scully laughed out loud at National Review defending the corporations most aggressively lobbying against any climate accountability. The same outlet that called every clean energy investment "radical socialism" is now mad that people have concerns about giant power-hungry facilities. The Truth is out there.
National Review has been running interference for corporate polluters for decades, this is just their latest version of it. "Data centers aren't the enemy" is their way of saying don't look at the emissions, don't look at the water usage, don't look at who's funding them. And the "Truth is out there" thing at the end, are you an X-Files fan or are you gesturing at something?
