Rohan Paul@rohanpaul_ai · XGallup民调显示，71%美国人反对在本地建设AI数据中心，女性（55%）强烈反对比例高于男性（43%）。反对主因并非恐惧AI，而是资源压力（50%反对者提及，其中水、电各占18%）；支持者则看重经济（66%）和就业（55%）。政治风险广泛，多数民主党、独立派、共和党均反对，民主党最强烈（56%强烈反对）。自2023年以来，美国已出现300+州及地方数据中心禁令/暂停。但现代数据中心已能缓解担忧：微软新一代芯片级闭环冷却零水耗；谷歌全球PUE 1.09低于行业平均1.56；数据中心未推高居民电价；"自带电力"成趋势，Google、微软、Meta纷纷签订核电合同。
Gallup found that 71% of Americans oppose building local AI data centers.
Women （55%） are also more likely than men （43%） to register strong opposition to data center construction.
There are no meaningful differences in total opposition by age， race， education， income or urbanicity. Opposition is slightly lower among those living in the West （63%） and East （68%） than in the Midwest （76%） and South （75%）.
The opposition is not mainly abstract fear of AI， because 50% of opponents mention resource strain， including 18% water use and 18% electricity demand.
Local residents are reacting to AI as a land， grid， water， noise， traffic， and bill-pressure issue.
Supporters see the other side of the bargain， with 66% citing local economic benefits and 55% naming jobs.
The political risk is unusually broad because majorities of Democrats， independents， and Republicans all oppose local construction， even though Democrats show the strongest opposition at 56% strongly opposed.
