Episode Details

Residents in Mercer County, Kentucky, are rallying against a proposed massive data center, uniting across political lines in a fierce fight over water, noise, and rising power costs — even as developers tout tax revenue. From veterans to everyday citizens, they’ve formed groups like “We Are Mercer County” to demand accountability, echoing national concerns and challenging the notion that such projects are politically neutral. In Burgin, where annexation plans have sparked outrage after residents were silenced at one meeting, protests continue. Though a county moratorium has been passed, the future remains uncertain as officials weigh community impact against economic promises.
