It isn't necessary to evenly distribute industry across the entire country out of pettiness.

Maine doesn't tell Iowa they should grow their own lobsters, they simply trade them.

I don't know if I get you're points because lobster farms are tied to certain external factors in a way things like data centers aren’t.

but either way, the argument feels very NIMBY: it’s not ‘no housing,’ it’s ‘just not here.’

so when someone say ‘let someone else host them,’ it really comes across as: I want the internet, just let other communities pay the environmental cost.
