A viral TikTok is igniting a debate over data centers taking over Virginia's countryside

A viral TikTok video exposes concerns about the rapid expansion of data centers in Northern Virginia. The video shows footage of horse pastures, valleys, and small towns being replaced by construction sites for data center warehouses. Northern Virginia has become known as the "data center capital of the US," with around 250 centers popping up recently. While some commenters agree with the video's concerns about the destruction of historical sites and natural landscapes, others point out the importance of data centers for technological advancements. The construction of data centers poses challenges for the local infrastructure and raises questions about the impact on communities and their quality of life.
