In countries where the government is responsible and new data centers have to go through the regulatory consent process and address the public's concerns around noise levels, water usage and grid prices there is still opposition from the public. I think* because of how big of an issue it is in America. America is a megaphone to a lot of the world so the issues spill over and the average person doesnt really seem to know what they're mad about.
