A user debated a dozen anti-data-center folks in Ohio, asking a simple question: without searching, where's the nearest data center and what's specifically wrong with it? Not one could answer — some vaguely knew about builds "in Columbus" but couldn't say where or why.
He notes there are over 80 data centers within an hour's drive that they pass regularly without noticing. A quoted critic claimed the internet ran 30 years without data centers, which is plainly false.
