US President Donald Trump stated on Wednesday that companies constructing data centers should pay a financial "dividend" to local communities to increase their popularity and acceptance. Alongside this proposal, Trump announced that data center developers are required to generate their own electricity and sell any excess power.
Financial agreements have reportedly helped ease local resistance to these developments, which have faced community pushback. Meanwhile, public opinion polling indicates that a significant portion of the American public harbors concerns regarding data center infrastructure.
