  1. Developers eye #NativeNations, tribal communities for new #Datacenter projects

    by Madyson Fitzgerald, 9/12/2026

    "Officials in #PageAZ, a small city near the Glen Canyon Dam, passed a land sale agreement last fall that establishes a framework for future construction of a data center.

    "The sale of the 500-acre parcel about a mile away from the Colorado River’s #HorseshoeBend — one of the most visited natural landmarks in the #GlenCanyon National Recreation Area — to #HuntleyLLC for $7 million specifies that the company intends to build a 1 gigawatt data center.

    "Residents have been pushing back and launched a petition earlier this year to stop the planned data center from being built.

    "About 5 miles south of the city, a group of tribal leaders began to take notice. The proposed data center borders the #LeChee Chapter of the #NavajoNation, located in the northwest corner of the Navajo Reservation. "

  6. #Texas Gov. #GregAbbott on #AIDataCenter Backlash: 'They Dug Their Own Grave'

    Jennifer Oliver O'Connell, August 23, 2026

    "#NewYork Gov. #KathyHochul (D) and #Kentucky Gov. #AndyBeshear (D) have pushed back against the expansion of #AIDataCenters in their respective states. But with the increasing backlash from communities and individuals toward new #datacenter construction and expansion, even governors that have embraced the #AIRevolution, like #Pennsylvania's #JoshShapiro (D), are now moderating and talking about scaling back.

    "Texas Gov. Greg Abbott (R) is one governor whose state has embraced the data center expansion. In November 2025, Abbott declared that Texas is the 'epicenter of AI development' in his announcement of #Google building three data center campuses to the tune of $40 million dollars.

    "Fast forward to August of 2026, and Abbott acknowledges that much of the community resistance to the construction of new and existing data centers is the fault of the AI companies."

    [...]

    "Abbott is not wrong. According to a report from #DataCenterWatch, 64 billion in data center projects have been blocked or delayed in #Arizona, #Utah, #Missouri, #Oregon, and #California, to name a few. Even formerly friendly #Virginia is pushing back. #CommunityOpposition surrounds the lack of information provided and the lack of accountability taken towards the citizens who will be most affected.

    "Water and power concerns loom large. Many of the newer development concepts, like entrepreneur #KevinOLeary 's 9 megawatt #StratosProject in #Utah, will have their own self-sustaining water and power systems. However, this did not prevent the backlash by #environmentalists and local activists to shut the Stratos Project down, and Utah state lawmakers ultimately backpedaled from their original approval and requested O'Leary cut the project's 400,000-acre footprint down to 10,000, about 75 percent.
