Republican support for data centers fades in GOP counties

Original: Republican data center support collapses locally when sites are in GOP counties

A new report claims that while Republican officials broadly back data center construction as economic development, that support erodes quickly at the local level when a proposed site lands in a Republican-leaning county, where residents push back on land use, power demand and water consumption. Observers say the finding highlights a growing split between party leaders' pro-development stance and grassroots opposition to the facilities' local impact.

Why now: Data center expansion is becoming a live political issue, exposing tension between national party support and local Republican resistance.
