- Most states offer tax breaks for AI data centers. Polls show Americans don't want them.
Most U.S. states provide tax incentives for AI data centers, but recent polls indicate 70% of Americans oppose their construction in local communities. Lawmakers like New Jersey's Assemblyman Andrew Macurdy are pushing to reclaim tax credits for resident utility relief and clean energy, while industry groups defend data centers as critical to the digital economy. Protests against projects like CoreWeave's New Jersey facility highlight growing public resistance.
