Today's Poll Question at Smerconish.com: Should your state pause construction of new data centers? Michael examines the growing backlash against the massive facilities powering AI and the modern internet. With New York moving to halt certain projects, other states considering restrictions, and voters worried about electricity costs, water use, and strain on the grid, the debate is quickly becoming national. But slowing construction could also weaken U.S. competitiveness in the global AI race. Michael weighs the local costs against the economic and technological stakes—and asks whether states should press pause or keep building. Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.
