Is that money staying in the area with the data centers though or do we suspect it will mostly leave? Perhaps enriching owners of the data centers elsewhere..

Much of the money is funny and doesn’t actually exist (yet).

"...investigating data centers is quickly becoming its own beat"
ie it is in the interest of the writers to tap into (and foment) the FUD around "data centers."

I saw a comment from another site that a lot of the data center locations on this map aren’t accurate. Is there any truth to that?
