Send us Fan MailToday on the Palm and Pine Podcast, the boys of Old Florida sit down with Raul Alfonso of the Watchdogs of Fort Meade to break down one of the most controversial development battles in the state.A proposed hyperscale AI data center—spanning up to 4.4 million square feet on over 1,300 acres—is poised to transform the quiet rural town of Fort Meade into a hub of Big Tech infrastructure. But not everyone is on board.  Residents and grassroots groups are sounding the alarm over massive energy demands, water consumption, noise pollution, and environmental impacts tied to the project. Some estimates suggest facilities like this can require enormous الكهرباء loads and millions of gallons of water for cooling, raising serious concerns about sustainability and local infrastructure.  Raul Alfonso shares how the Watchdogs of Fort Meade formed, what’s really happening behind the scenes, and why locals are pushing back against what they see as a fundamental threat to their community’s way of life.Is this economic progress… or a dangerous overreach of corporate development into small-town Florida?🌴 In this episode:•The truth behind the Fort Meade data center proposal•Why residents fear rising utility costs, noise, and environmental damage•The role of local government and controversial approvals•What this fight means for the future of rural FloridaThis is more than a local story—it’s a glimpse into the growing clash between AI infrastructure expansion and traditional communities across America.🎧 Tune in now and hear the full story straight from the front lines.Support the showIntroduction by Butch Faulkner.  Music created on SUNO AI. Support the podcast at: http://www.buymeacoffee.com/palmandpineJoin our Patreon Community https://www.patreon.com/c/PalmandPinePodcastVisit our website:  http://palmandpine.net/Purchase one of Prof. Barlow’s books to support the podcast:http://www.lulu.com/spotlight/dbarlow
