In 2025, about 48 datacenter projects worth an estimated $156bn were blocked or stalled by local opposition.

By the way, i believe these numbers to be completely useless.

Say a company wants to build a datacenter at location A, but it gets blocked. So it goes to B, but it also gets blocked. Finally it builds the same datacenter at location C. Now, two datacenters got blocked, but the amount of datacenters that ended up being built is still the same.
