Analysis Summary
Power companies including Georgia Power are using eminent domain to seize private land for infrastructure serving AI data centers, with Georgia Power acquiring over 300 parcels across 35 miles where owners won't sell. The Georgia Power case affects residential homeowners like the Brown family in Coweta County, who are being forced to choose between selling or facing seizure. What's less clear is whether the 70% NIMBY statistic reflects a formal poll or is being used more impressionistically โ the sources confirm the eminent domain practice but don't detail the polling source.
