A bitter battle over a massive AI data center planned for the Bay Area has gone national after Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez publicly backed a teen activist spearheading a campaign to kill the project. A 76-acre data center campus planned for East Bay suburb Pittsburg has sparked a revolt among locals who say the facility will suck up resources, spew diesel exhaust and cause a racket in the quiet community — and now even the Democratic Socialist darling Ocasio-Cortez has waded into the tense standoff amid a growing national backlash against data centers.
