棕榈滩县——总统唐纳德·特朗普的海湖庄园所在地——通过了一项为期一年的禁令，暂停数据中心的规划和建设，以便委员们全面审查数据中心对环境、噪音污染和电费的影响。
这项于周四通过的禁令出台仅几周前，特朗普曾表示，拒绝数据中心的社区将“最终变得落后且贫穷”。作为美国最富裕的县之一，棕榈滩县包括棕榈滩镇，这里居住着65位亿万富翁。
“如果你想经历贫困、犯罪和肮脏，我会说不要批准数据中心项目，”特朗普9月4日在椭圆形办公室说道。
棕榈滩县委员会以6-0的投票结果并未永久禁止数据中心建设。相反，它给了县领导层时间进行环境影响评估，之后再更新数据中心建设的分区规则。

该禁令适用于所有预计峰值电力负荷至少50兆瓦的数据中心新申请。
“许多社区都希望获得数据中心带来的经济利益，但我们都担心更高的电费、负面的环境影响、 disruptive噪音以及水资源枯竭，”一名棕榈滩县居民在周四的会议上说道。
特朗普将扩大数据中心建设和加速人工智能发展作为其议程的核心支柱，他辩称美国承受不起在AI竞赛中输给中国，并警告反对数据中心建设只会让北京受益。
数据中心是人工智能的实体基础设施，容纳数千台强大的计算机，用于存储和处理数字信息，同时为训练和运行人工智能系统提供所需的计算能力。
棕榈滩县已于2016年批准了“探戈项目”的建设——这是一个规划中的202英亩人工智能数据中心，距离海湖庄园20英里。该数据中心还将建在一所小学和住宅附近。

福克斯新闻民调：选民质疑人工智能的承诺是否大于其风险
今年7月，委员会以6-1的投票结果否决了将探戈项目扩大约167万平方英尺的提案。但现有两项10万平方英尺数据中心建筑的审批仍然有效。
周四会议上的居民表示，探戈项目是推动暂停数据中心项目审批的核心因素，多名居民主张不要建设任何数据中心。

“我认为最好的睦邻数据中心就是没有数据中心，”居民谢尔盖·凯利说道。“我们的南部和西部是大沼泽地，东部是海岸。我认为数据中心，尤其是那些他们迫切想要建设的大型数据中心，根本不应该建在这里。”

Palm Beach County — home to President Donald Trump’s Mar-a-Lago — passed a one-year moratoriam on the planning and construction of data centers as commissioners seek to conduct a thorough review of data centers’ impacts on the environment, noise pollution, and electric bills.
The moratorium, passed on Thursday, comes just weeks after Trump said that communities that reject data centers would “end up being backwards and poor.” Among the wealthiest counties in the country, Palm Beach County includes the town of Palm Beach, home to 65 billionaires.
“If you want to go through poverty, crime and squalor, I would say don’t approve of data centers,” Trump said from the Oval Office on Sep. 4.
The Palm Beach County Commissioners’ 6-0 vote doesn’t put a permanent ban on data centers. Instead, it gives county leadership time to conduct environmental impact reviews before updating zoning rules for where data centers can be built.

TRUMP’S DATA CENTER PUSH FRACTURES CONGRESS AS LOCAL ANGER EXPLODES: ‘GRASPING AT STRAWS’
The moratorium applies to all new applications for data centers with an anticipated peak electrical load of at least 50 megawatts.
“Many communities want the economic benefits a data center brings, but we all fear the higher power bills, the negative environmental impact, disruptive noise, the depletion of water resources,” a Palm Beach County resident shared during Thursday’s meeting.
Trump has made expanding data centers and accelerating artificial intelligence a cornerstone of his agenda, arguing that the United States cannot afford to lose the AI race to China and warning that opposition to data centers only benefits Beijing.
Data centers are the physical backbone of artificial intelligence, housing thousands of powerful computers that store and process digital information while providing the computing power needed to train and run AI systems.
Palm Beach County has already approved in 2016 the construction of “Project Tango” — a proposed 202-acre AI data center, which is located 20 miles from Mar-a-Lago. The data center will also be built near an elementary school and homes.

FOX NEWS POLL: VOTERS QUESTION WHETHER AI’S PROMISE OUTWEIGHS ITS RISKS
In July, commissioners voted 6-1 to reject a proposal to expand Project Tango by roughly 1.67 million square feet. But existing approvals for two 100,000-square-foot data center buildings remain in place.
Residents at the Thursday meeting said Project Tango was the driving factor behind the push to hit pause on data center project approvals, with several residents advocating for no data centers to be built.

“I think the best good neighbor data center is no data center,” resident Sergei Kelly said. “We have the Everglades to our South and to our West. The coast to our East. I don’t think data centers, especially large data centers they want to build desperately should be here at all.”
