datacenterdebate.com Observed source
Editorial interest 86/100 Selection signal · not a rating of the site

A non-partisan guide to the US data center debate, organizing competing claims about electricity, taxes, jobs, water, pollution, and local opposition.

Landing page captured for the 2026-09-17 issue.

Field notes

The project organizes the data-center dispute into fourteen arguments, their counters, replies, source documents, a project-status map, tracked figures, and a report center. Its evidence policy records not only who produced a study but who paid for it, illustrated by the contrast between an industry-funded lobbying-group study and a state nonpartisan auditor’s work. The homepage also carries a dated Loudoun County update about a proposed one-year pause on data-center and substation applications.
