Public Opposition to U.S. Data Center Construction Drives Legislation and Violence

Resistance to AI data center construction is intensifying across the United States, with an estimated $64 billion in projects blocked or delayed between May 2024 and March 2025. Legislative responses include Maine's moratorium bill on data centers requiring 20+ megawatts, at least 12 other states filing similar bills, and local referenda in Wisconsin, Missouri, and Ohio. Opposition has also turned violent, with a molotov cocktail attack on OpenAI CEO Sam Altman's home and gunshots fired at an Indianapolis city councilor who supported a local data center project.
