WSJ Opinion: Data Centers Spread Prosperity

The Wall Street Journal opinion section published a piece titled The Data-Center Dividend for Workers. It states that jobs and wages are booming in counties that welcome AI data centers, citing Loudoun County, Virginia as an example. The article claims such centers spread prosperity without government intervention or income redistribution. A related post from the WSJ account asks whether this outcome explains political opposition to data centers.
