As the AI infrastructure construction boom takes off, community opposition to data centers in the US is spreading to Europe and Asia, posing risks for investors. According to research by STL Partners, public opposition has led to delays or cancellations of approximately $42 billion in data center investments in Europe and $77 billion in the US. European data center monitoring agencies note that from January to April this year, over 70 data center projects in Europe were rejected or restricted, surpassing the total for all of last year. Scotland has paused planning approvals for hyperscale data centers, Denmark has passed emergency legislation placing data centers at the bottom of the queue for grid applications, and Spain has proposed requiring 80% of data center power to come from renewable sources. In South Korea, despite government efforts to promote development, local residents' opposition to data center construction is growing, with protests and proposals for stricter restrictions emerging in areas like Seoul and Gwacheon.
