Anti-datacentre sentiment has intensified across the American political spectrum, with more than a dozen states now contemplating moratoria on new facility construction.

反對資料中心的緒在整個美國政治光譜中日益高漲，已有十幾個州正考慮暫停興建新設施。

New York recently became the first state to enact a temporary ban, a landmark decision that underscores mounting concerns about the environmental impact of these sprawling digital infrastructure sites.

紐約最近成為第一個頒布臨時禁令的州，這項具有里程碑意義的決定凸顯了人們對這些龐大數位基礎設施場址所帶來環境影響的日益關切。

The growing backlash reflects an unprecedented convergence of political forces rarely seen on any single policy issue.

日益強烈的反彈反映了前所未有的政治力量匯聚，這在任何單一政策議題上都是極為罕見的。

Notably, both progressive and conservative lawmakers have voiced objections to unchecked datacentre expansion.

值得注意的是，進步派與保守派的立法者都已對不受限制的資料中心擴張表達了反對意見。

Senator Bernie Sanders and Representative Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez have proposed a national moratorium on development.

聯邦參議員伯尼·桑德斯與聯邦眾議員亞歷滿德里亞·奧卡西奧-科爾特斯已提議在全國範圍內暫緩發展。

Meanwhile, Greg Abbott, the far-right governor of Texas, has called for restrictions on datacentre construction in rural areas of his state.

與此同時，德克薩斯州極右翼州長格雷格·阿博特已呼籲限制在該州鄉村地區興建數據中心。

Were it not for the shared urgency of environmental and economic concerns, such bipartisan alignment would be virtually inconceivable.

若非環境與經濟隱憂的共同緊迫性，這種跨黨派的一致立場所在幾乎是無法想像的。

At the heart of the controversy lies the staggering energy consumption associated with datacentres, particularly those powering artificial intelligence technologies.

這場爭議的核心在於資料中心驚人的能源消耗，特別是那些為人工智慧技術提供動力的資料中心。

These facilities demand enormous quantities of electricity, and the resulting surge in demand has the potential to drive up utility bills for ordinary households.

這些設施需要大量的電力，而隨之而來的需求驟增極有可能推高普通家庭的電費。

Approximately 48 percent of respondents indicated that they are strongly opposed, suggesting that the issue resonates on a deeply personal level.

大約百分之四十八的受訪者表示他們強烈反對，這表明該議題在深層的個人層面上引起了共鳴。

Should this trend persist, policymakers may find themselves compelled to impose far more stringent regulations on the technology sector's expanding physical footprint.

如果這種趨勢持續下去，政策制定者可能會發現自己不得不對科技產業不斷擴大的實體足跡實施更嚴格的監管。

#15

Not only does the debate raise questions about sustainable infrastructure, but it also challenges assumptions about the uncritical embrace of technological progress.

這場爭論不僅對永續基礎設施提出了質疑，也挑戰了人們對盲目擁抱科技進步的既有假設。
