Bau von riesigen Rechenzentren: Trump attackiert Rechenzentren-Gegner: Wollen „arm“ sein
Es ist längst zum politischen Thema in der US-Bevölkerung geworden: Ist man für oder gegen den Bau von Riesen-Rechenzentren, mit denen KI weiterentwickelt werden soll? Trump passt der Protest nicht.
As the gubernatorial and parliamentary elections in several US states draw near, President Donald Trump is attacking opponents of large data centers. According to Trump on his Truth Social platform, communities across the nation oppose data centers solely because they wish to remain "poor and backward." He added that China might find the movement against data centers even more successful than it already is.
Resistance against the construction of these massive data centers has been growing in the United States. Concerns have been raised about the environmental impact, as well as high electricity and water consumption. Trump seeks to counter this by arguing that data centers will bring lower taxes and numerous job opportunities to regions. In his post, he highlighted the potential economic growth and job creation.
The issue of data centers could also become increasingly important in the upcoming congressional elections on November 3rd. The Trump party - the Republicans - aim to defend their slim majorities in the House of Representatives. Many states are voting on selecting the next governor. Major cloud players such as Amazon, Google, Microsoft, and Meta are investing hundreds of billions of dollars in expanding AI data centers, along with the chip giant Nvidia.
