State Sen. Arthur Orr (R-Decatur) says Alabama needs new data centers, but is advocating for a measured approach as the debate over their construction continues across the state. U.S. Sen. Tommy Tuberville (R-Auburn), who is the Republican nominee for Alabama Governor, has been championing new data centers in recent weeks, while many cities across the state have put temporary moratoriums in place. You know, a little different than data centers, same principle, but you know, so people don’t want to see that.” I’m sorry, but we went heavy on the data center run, and we don’t have the power to sell you. New data centers have faced opposition from Democrats, including U.S. Rep Terri Sewell who cosponsored a bill that will temporarily ban them nationwide.
