Alabama Debates Data Centers as Political Issue in Governor's Race

Data centers have become one of the hottest political issues in Alabama. Supporters argue they're critical for economic growth and future investment. Opponents raise concerns about electricity demand, water usage, transparency, and local impacts. The bigger question is whether this debate is being driven by legitimate policy concerns, political strategy, or a mix of both. As Alabama's governor's race heats up, expect data centers to remain front and center.
