AI backlash is challenging the industry’s permission to build: 76% opposed a local data center, and 57% expected AI to hurt society.Texas restrictions could endanger 10–15 gigawatts of roughly 45 gigawatts expected online next year, tightening compute supply and lifting prices.That risks slowing the AI trade, though Klein argues slower construction may curb overbuilding and push labs toward economically useful deployment.
