Are Data Centers the 2026 Election Surprise?
Artificial intelligence is fueling a data center boom, but many Americans oppose having one built in their own community -- and that dramatically crosses party lines. We explore the growing debate over jobs, economic growth, electricity use, water consumption, and the local impacts of powering the AI revolution. Then, we examine the push for mental health days at work as stress and burnout remain widespread and more employees say workplace well-being influences whether they stay or leave a job. And, our fun fact takes us back to 1948, when Gallup asked Americans about their perfect home temperature. See if your guess matches the public’s.
