A US Congressman from New Jersey profited from stock trades in companies supplying the AI data centre industry, such as Texas Instruments and NVent. This occurred amid growing local backlash in his swing district against data centres due to their impact on electricity costs and the environment.

This Wire brief sits within Fusion42's coverage of Cloud Infrastructure.

◆ ◆ The Wire takeaway

The social licence to build data centres is becoming a campaign issue in US swing districts. If you're siting new compute, your biggest risk is no longer the power supply but the local planning board and the voters.
