A statewide Marquette Law School poll found that about three in four Wisconsinites believe the costs of data centers outweigh their benefits. The survey indicates that opposition has changed little from previous polling.
Despite the negative views, data centers rank well below the top issues on Wisconsin voters’ minds. The poll does not identify a specific project, company or locality.
