• Developers are moving NC data center projects forward at hyperspeed (vpm.org) — Residents gathered in downtown Danbury outside the Stokes County Government Center to protest potential data center development and its strain on local power and water resources. Their concerns echo similar debates across North Carolina as massive AI-focused data centers drive up energy demand, push utilities toward more fossil fuel use, and raise fresh questions about long-term environmental impacts.
