Meta Platforms has highlighted the growing political opposition in the U.S. as a significant barrier to new data center construction, following recent midterm elections. The company plans to expand its U.S. data centers and is also considering international sites due to these challenges. Political opposition, particularly in states like Louisiana and Texas, is expected to increase scrutiny on new projects, potentially leading to delays or moratoriums. This development comes as Meta continues to work on U.S. projects such as the Hyperion facility in Louisiana and a Texas site with BlackRock.
