> If your business is this faulty that you have to rely on subverting democratic norms

I'm not seeing the relationship between building datacenters and subverting democratic norms. Could you explain?

the people building datacenters don't want to go through the normal process. they want special exceptions to do whatever they like and put the externalities on other people.

My take is that they get subsidized energy prices and the average person is going to pick up the tab. That doesn’t seem very fair.
