> Voters last week have elected people who are openly hostile to datacenters
Voters themselves were hostile towards data centers in all but one of the ballot initiatives (40 out of 41).
But the “elected people” you refer to (I assume Democrats) seem to me to be more about not having one-sided secret deals for data centers in folks’ “backyards”.
Specifically, the detailed stances seems to be for things like: cover energy demands (no rate hikes), no excess load on power grid, water protections, and transparency with the communities they are in. Some also call for more regulation (which is a knife that can cut both ways).
This seems reasonable to me.
If anyone wants to cast stones, I think targeting the folks currently in office who somehow thought it would be a good idea to defund extra power generation just because it happened to be renewables / clean energy might be one place to look.
