Summary
Former Democratic Sen. Sherrod Brown of Ohio is running for Senate again on a platform opposing data center development, despite previously praising their expansion in 2015. Brown’s campaign video claims that data centers are a drain on the state’s resources and that corporations are “rigging the system.” He proposes requiring data centers to pay the full cost of their electricity. Brown’s stance is a reversal from his previous support, and his office did not respond to requests for comment on the scope of his objections.
Our Reading
Once again, the discussion returns to a familiar question.
Sherrod Brown’s campaign video presents a different view of data centers than his 2015 press release. He now portrays them as a burden on Ohio’s resources. Brown’s proposal to require data centers to pay for their electricity is a new stance. His office did not respond to requests for comment on the scope of his objections. The issue of data centers has become a talking point in the Ohio Senate race. Brown’s reversal on the issue is a notable shift in his position.
As expected, the matter has reached another stage: the campaign trail.
