  "account": "Many people don't think about data centers, but they use them every day without realizing it. Your bank, hospital, streaming service, and AI tools all rely on these invisible facilities. However, this lack of visibility has led to backlash as developers have faced opposition in places like Pinal County, Arizona, Florida, Virginia, and North Carolina. The criticism often targets the wrong issue, and data centers should be judged based on their specific site, cooling methods, and efficiency rather than being vilified for reasons that aren't entirely accurate.",
  "summary": "By the time you've checked the weather, paid a bill and answered a few emails, you've probably used several data centers already.",
