More than 100 rally against data centers at Michigan Capitol

Over 100 people rallied at the Michigan state Capitol to protest the development of data centers, including a massive 1.4-gigawatt project in Saline Township involving OpenAI and Oracle. Concerns were raised about potential electricity rate hikes, water usage, and lack of transparency around the projects. Michigan Attorney General Dana Nessel criticized the Saline Township project and called for scrutiny of the utility company DTE Energy and the tech companies involved.
