Willie Nelson’s going after data centers—yes, the ones that power the internet—with a guitar-shaped protest. He’s rallying folks to fight back against these energy-hungry, water-guzzling behemoths that are multiplying across America, especially in rural areas like his hometown near Dallas. With nearly 12,000 centers already and projections to triple by 2030, Nelson warns they’re choking open spaces, threatening farmers, and shifting control over vital resources. While no data center is planned for Abbott, the surrounding region is booming with new builds, sparking backlash over rising costs, noise, and pollution. Public opinion’s split, but construction’s accelerating—Nelson’s voice, though unexpected, fits his lifelong defense of the land and those who till it.
