Nuclear scientists and the University of Michigan want to build a massive data center in Ypsilanti Township, Michigan.
If built, the data center will, among other things, run simulations to help America build nuclear weapons.
The residents of Ypsilanti Township overwhelmingly oppose the construction of the data center

Datacenters? They're exploiting the absolutely frayed fabric of local planning process and democratic decisions there, and the ossified rules from higher levels of government that prevent localities from actually dealing with it. Plus they're preying on the ravaged small town economies that farm consolidation and manufacturing offshoring has created. Not every data center is bad, when they're integrated well in a community and not stressing its systems, and not too large and running their own generators, they're extremely boring buildings. Heat is a problem many places, and electricity's fungibility makes non-local impacts there, so we need to deal with that.
