US $130 billion data center project blocked, OpenAI and Meta strengthen community public relations

According to Bloomberg, at least 75 data center projects worth approximately $130 billion in the first three months of this year in the United States have been blocked or postponed due to local concerns about resource consumption. OpenAI is recruiting a community engagement manager and investing $40 million to establish the Ohio Community Fund. Meta is recruiting a community engagement manager and advertising for data centers. Microsoft has stated that it will no longer seek local tax incentives for new data centers.
