OpenAI, Blackstone, SoftBank back union coalition against data center moratoriums

OpenAI, Blackstone, QTS and SoftBank are reported to be backing a union coalition opposing US data center moratoriums across seven states. Internal polling in Ohio reportedly shows 67% negative sentiment toward new facilities, shifting only when campaigns promise lower energy bills and local jobs, framing the fight as one over public perception as much as regulation.
Why now: Rising local backlash against AI data center construction has pushed the industry into an unusual alliance with labor to sway public opinion.
