美国AI数据中心难落地 特朗普“出奇招”

特朗普警告称，数据中心不仅要像他此前提出的那样自行发电，还必须将多余电力输送给当地社区，可以无偿供给，也可以对外出售。他表示，某些原本极不受欢迎的数据中心项目，在达成经济协议后获得了当地大力支持，并呼吁“达成协议，推进建设”。

有报道指出，美国各地社区一直在抗议AI数据中心项目，核心原因是这类设施带来电价上涨、噪音污染、水资源短缺、空气污染及森林砍伐等问题。特朗普政府此前已下令这类企业自行发电，近期还通过法案要求数据中心承担电网升级费用，避免由地方居民税收承担。

不过，报道认为，经济回馈是否足以争取社区支持仍未可知。巨大的耗水量、生态破坏及各类污染等挑战，使得AI数据中心无论选址何处，都很难获得美国民众认可。

据《华尔街日报》此前报道，在美国宾夕法尼亚州黑兹尔镇，如果这里的居民同意建设数据中心，他们就可以获得1万美元。尽管这笔现金补偿颇具吸引力，但许多当地居民仍反对建设数据中心。

Trump warned that the data centre must not only generate its own electricity, as he had previously proposed, but must also transmit excess electricity to local communities, be provided free of charge or be sold externally. He indicated that some of the very unwelcome data centre projects had received strong local support after economic agreements had been reached, and called for “agreements to advance construction”.

It has been reported that communities across the United States have been protesting the AI data centre project, at the core of which is the rise in electricity prices, noise pollution, water scarcity, air pollution and deforestation. The Trump Government had previously ordered such enterprises to generate their own electricity, and a bill had recently been passed requiring the data centre to cover the cost of upgrading the electricity grid, avoiding being covered by local residents ' taxes.

However, reports suggest that it remains unclear whether economic feedback is sufficient to garner community support. The enormous challenges of water consumption, ecological destruction and pollution of all kinds make it difficult for the AI data centre to obtain United States public approval regardless of its location.

The Wall Street Journal previously reported that, in Hazel Town, Pennsylvania, United States, if residents agreed to build a data centre, they would receive $10,000. Despite this attractive cash compensation, many local residents are still opposed to the construction of data centres.
