Give local communities a say over large AI data centers

Frankel supports allowing local communities to decide whether proposed AI hyperscale data centers belong in their neighborhoods. She also calls for federal labor and environmental standards and meaningful review of projects that could affect local jobs or natural resources, with companies held accountable for their impacts.

Context: The passage does not specify the proposed federal review process or standards. Reported in a 2026 candidate interview/guide; the exact original statement date is not established.

In their own words

decisions about proposed AI hyperscale data centers should primarily be made by the local communities that will be affected by them
