I'd argue we don't need to build a 9 GW data center anywhere. But that's just me.

This new flavor of NIMBY is pretty funny.

Why do you presume yourself to be part of the "we" in question? This seems like it's a case of other people using their own resources to do things that don't involve you; what's your stake in it?

And given your correct acknowledgement that it's "just you" expressing subjective normative opinions about things you're not involved in, what valid basis do you have for assessing what anyone who is involved actually needs?

There is very little we do that is "needed" if you break it down to actual necessities (basic needs pyramid).
