In Jefferson City, Missouri, a significant crowd gathered at the Missouri State Capitol Rotunda to protest the widespread development of AI data centers across the state. The event, dubbed a "people's hearing," was organized by citizens who claim they have not been adequately able to voice their concerns directly to their elected politicians regarding state policy on data centers.
KRCG 13's Jon Lieber reported from the Capitol, highlighting the public's desire to influence the legislative approach to these developments. The protestors aimed to make their voices heard on what they believe the state's stance should be on the rapidly expanding data center industry and its implications.
