Opposition has formed an unlikely coalition in rural eastern Nebraska, bringing together conservative farmers, the state Sierra Club chapter, and labor leaders concerned about rapid data center development. These groups worry about issues like dwindling farmland, declining water supplies, and massive corporations reshaping small-town America into computing warehouses. Local officials in Cass County responded by approving a 12-month moratorium on allowing such data center development.
