episode The Data Center Debate cover

Description

Communities across America are demanding moratoriums on data centers.Kevin O'Leary is backing a 40,000-acre project in drought-stricken Utah. When residents pushed back on water and environmental concerns, he said the protesters were "bused in" and suggested China was behind the opposition. Meanwhile, @nvidia [https://x.com/nvidia] just launched chips for orbital data centers in space. And is also helping put mini data centers on the side of people's houses.In 2025 alone, local opposition delayed or cancelled data center projects totaling $156 billion. Is the pushback legitimate or is it slowing down the infrastructure America actually needs to stay competitive? Are giant centralized facilities even the right model anymore?
