The speaker describes several objections to data centers: noise, air pollution, electricity use and possible higher local electricity bills, as well as fears that enabling AI could be dangerous.

“Totally. And then I think, look, it's, it's getting harder and harder, especially in the United States. You have a lot of pushback. Um, I mean, you have all kinds of pushback. Data centers are too noisy. Don't want 'em in my neighborhood.”

“Uh, they add a lot of air pollution.”

“...the water. It's-- which is it uses too much water, which it doesn't. Um, it's the electricity. It uses a lot of electricity. It's gonna increase my electricity bill if I live in close proximity, or it's just the simple AI is gonna kill us, and I don't want to enable that.”
