You're from hackernews, hackernews is terrible and you're a terrible commenter. You should be ashamed of yourself.
Why are you talking about memory? Nobody cares about memory. You know what people care about? People care about ballrooms, and you know what, the US has the best!
People who know ballrooms say the US is hot right now, hotter than anywhere else in the world, because we're building the best ballroom in the world. Can you imagine that? China is nowhere on ballrooms.
If data centres were forced to contribute what was required to build the utility infrastructure required to support them, that might be true. For example, electricity costs.
Datacentres are generally built where poor people live. If you are on minimum wage and suddenly someone increases your electricity bill by $300 because of data centres, on top of all the other increases tied to things like energy insecurity... I can understand why people would consider that an impact.
