New Poll: Majority of Michiganders Opposed to Controversial Data Centers<\/strong><\/h3>\n

As the MPSC weighs the Saline data center, polling shows public opposition intensifies as residents learn more about the costs and consequences<\/em><\/p>\n

MICHIGAN \u2013 On Wednesday, a new poll released by Progress Michigan shows Michiganders aren\u2019t buying what big tech is selling when it comes to data centers, with less than a third supporting bringing more to Michigan.<\/p>\n

\u201cMichiganders shouldn\u2019t have to fight this hard to protect something as basic as clean water,\u201d said Denzel McCampbell, managing director of Progress Michigan<\/strong>. \u201cOur lawmakers and policy-makers have the responsibility to protect our communities, not hand over our natural resources to greedy corporations whose data centers will drain our water, spike energy use, and offer little in return. This shouldn\u2019t be a difficult decision: people before profits. It\u2019s that simple.\u201d<\/p>\n

This evening, the Michigan Public Service Commission will hold a public hearing on the proposed data center<\/a> in Saline Township, and community members are mobilizing to protest<\/a> the project. Many are standing in solidarity with residents in Caledonia, Wisconsin, who successfully stopped a similar development<\/a>. Michiganders are demanding that decision-makers listen to the people, not greedy corporations after quick profits who don\u2019t care about the damage they do to our communities.<\/p>\n
