Trump says companies should pay 'dividend' to communities to make data centres popular

US President Donald Trump has suggested that companies operating data centres should pay a 'dividend' to local communities to make them more popular. This idea is likely a response to growing concerns about the environmental impact of data centres, which are fueling the rise of artificial intelligence. The high water and power requirements of these centres have become a contentious issue, uniting voters across ideological lines. If implemented, this plan could have significant implications for the data centre industry and its relationship with local communities.
