The Great Big Tech Land-Grab: Why America Is Rejecting Data Centers | 4/13/26

About this episode

The episode discusses the impact of Big Tech's data centers on rural America and the grassroots movement against it.

Big Tech is coming for rural America's land, power, and water to fuel its hyperscale data centers. I’m joined by energy expert and journalist Robert Bryce, who has been chronicling the massive, bipartisan grassroots rebellion fighting back against the data center land-grab. The push for cloud-based AI and hyperscale data centers is draining America’s resources at a record pace — requiring unprecedented amounts of electricity and water while offering little return on investment to local communities. It’s the green energy grift all over again, but exponentially worse. From Round Rock, Texas, to Ravenna, Ohio, everyday Americans are uniting across the political spectrum to stop multinational tech giants from unnaturally rezoning agricultural land and destroying local grids. We dive into the shocking poll data, the reality of noise pollution, and why this fight is about much more than just energy — it’s about protecting our homesteads from the ultimate Big Tech surveillance state.
