Ticker Tape is a big investor in SpaceX, USA Rare Earth, Scale AI and Perplexity AI, so we pay close attention to the AI revolution. One thing that frustrates us is the steady stream of videos claiming data centers are bad for America or for the communities where they’re built. Most of that is hogwash.
You’ve probably seen the reports that foreign countries are running their own social media campaigns to make data centers look bad for the environment and for local communities. The people who talk about water consumption are showing their ignorance. Don’t buy the hype. Look at the actual data, including the fact that new data centers being developed aren’t using evaporators.
Key points
- Ticker Tape invests in AI-related companies, so data center policy matters to us.
- Many claims that data centers harm communities are overstated.
- Reports point to foreign social media campaigns pushing anti-data-center messages.
- New data centers being developed aren’t using evaporators, so check the data on water use.
