Good, if these multi billion dollar companies can't afford to build a data center that... At the bare minimum doesn't affect their cost of electricity over the next 10 years, nor the infrastructure, then it's totally reasonable for them to resist it. It's not like building data centers is for the common good like building new nuclear power plants or other key infrastructure. Instead it's literally just profit motivated, and not even by consumer spending.

If a substantial part of the output of new nuclear plants goes to data centers, then those plants do NOT serve the common good. It's a simple matter about which there should be no confusion.
