People Would Rather Have Nuclear Power Plants In Their Area Than AI Data Centers
A Gallup survey released Wednesday shows 71% of Americans are somewhat or strongly opposed to the building of AI data centers in their area, mostly out of concern for their environmental impact.
That number is much higher than the 53% of respondents who said they’d oppose the building of a nuclear energy plant in their area (more than one-third of the U.S. population lives or works within 50 miles of a nuclear power plant).
