Anything having to do with datacenters bad gets headline news, because the appetite for it right now is intense.

I find that most of their "valid concerns" are actually "confused misunderstandings of social panic"
When we slot in datacenters on any hierarchy of impact, the only thing, literally the only they top the charts in, is "Makes a headline people click on". Everything else they're way down the list on. The stats are correct, the masses are just panicking.
Random voices on the internet that may not be individuals? Random survey results published by someone you trust? People you encounter in your day-to-day life?

Is "Shovel Purchased for Data Center Construction" an important story? If I say it's not, is it because I find it necessary to dismiss the valid* concerns citizens have regarding data centers? Is it because I find it necessary to protect the beliefs of a corporation over the populace?
