AI Boom Sparks Public Backlash: 70% of Americans Oppose Data Centers Near Homes

AI 热潮引发民怨：七成美国民众反对家门口建数据中心

Gallup found that 70% of Americans oppose data centers near residential areas, and 69 U.S. jurisdictions have issued moratoriums as projects face protests, regulatory disputes, higher wholesale power prices, and concerns over air pollution and water use.

Why it matters: HKR-H/K/R all pass: the neighborhood backlash hook is strong, the Gallup 70% figure and 69 moratoriums add concrete signal, and compute expansion faces local policy friction. It is infrastructure reporting, not a model or product launch.
