Voters in 13 States Decide Fate of Data Centers

Forty-one ballot measures about a building that mostly hums, and nobody thought to ask the cows. Thirteen states vote on them in November, and Ohio has 21 of them across 18 jurisdictions. A September Pew poll found 54% of Americans now say data centers hurt the environment, up from 39% in January. Fifteen points in a few months is how fast a neighbor goes from borrowing your post-hole digger to the fellow nobody invites to supper. Sherrod Brown calls Jon Husted 'the face of data centers,' and Husted says Brown is the hypocrite here, given his past support for them. Neither man is making a silk purse out of this sow's ear, but both are sure trying. President Trump gave the plain answer any rancher would: 'You can't just turn them off. They'll go to China.'
