Diamandis on data center siting: make local benefits measurable to build trust
PeterDiamandis · x · 2026-10-27
Peter Diamandis argues that tech leaders wanting communities to welcome data centers must make local benefits tangible: better schools, credible electricity-cost plans, and clear commitments on water and noise.
His core point: people should be able to see how the future improves their own neighborhood — the industry needs to actively build trust rather than tout macro value.
