Panel: Not In My Backyard — Yes In Yours: Data Centers and the Republicans Who Love Them
For some reason, voters keep making the strange request that data centers, which raise their utility bills, not be built in their backyard. Lucky for them, we’ve decided we know better — and we’re not going to let something as inconsequential as “public opinion” get in the way of the cash we’re making off of these servers.
Join our biggest data center superfans as they explain why the thing voters don’t want is actually the thing we need.
Panelists
Jon Husted
Ohio Senator Jon Husted isn’t called “the face of data centers” in Ohio for nothing. Husted accepted tens of thousands of dollars from data center developers and hyperscalers during his re-election campaign. He also said Ohioans “are the problem” for the buildout of data centers.
During this panel, Husted will teach you how to rake in thousands of dollars on these
Rob Bresnahan
Rob Bresnahan, congressman from Pennsylvania, knows how to make money off data centers. Last year, he bought stock in a major supplier for data centers — while he was pushing for data centers to be built in his district.
Michael Whatley
Former energy lobbyist Michael Whatley wants you to know that “This opposition to data centers isn’t organic. This is being ginned up.” Whatley has investments in companies that will benefit from data center growth.
