Will Rinehart documents the swelling real-time opposition against data centers over the past year. Analyzing two hearings in Springfield, IL, he notes a shift from December's focus on energy and costs to March's accusations about health, air quality, and control over daily life. The conflict has escalated from allocation disputes to attacks on the company's integrity. Rinehart argues that once a conflict moves into identity and way of life, price and terms stop settling it cleanly, with polls showing over 70% of voters disliking data centers.
