Data centers are the newest populist punching bag. People can score big clicks and views on their social media posts staking out the most hardline opposition possible to the several massive data centers proposed in Montana. One legislator is even calling for a four-year state-wide moratorium on data centers. A popular idea, I’m sure, but severely misguided. Data centers have the potential to unlock huge economic opportunities for Montana, but they aren’t all sunshine and rainbows. Nothing really is.
