Episode Details

Monterey Park voters have shut the door on new data centers, passing Measure NDC to ban them from city limits after fierce opposition from locals who warned of skyrocketing energy use, pollution, and grid strain. While the digital age demands more data centers to power AI and cloud tech, Monterey Park says no — forcing the industry to look elsewhere. Activists are already eyeing nearby cities like City of Industry, where similar projects are in the works. This vote sparks a national debate: can tech progress coexist with community well-being?
