Also, some objectives of those data centers is to provide the compute for the oppressive surveillance state that will include AI analysis of flock cameras everywhere and also the CBDC and new digital financial infrastructure that will track all assets owned by everyone; just to name a few.

At least, we should be pushing back by making sure the data center companies/owners are covering the full cost of building and operating them; and not the general population.
