Saw a TV panel on this a few weeks ago.

You know the "pro-datacenter" person was getting desperate when he tried to sell the construction work of building the datacenter as the "job growth".

On the moderator's remark that such jobs would be temporary, he got back with "oh no, datacenter construction can take several years, so it's not temporary!"

No further questions...
