Like a tornado descending from the heavens, data centers are tearing through homes across the US, roaring like a jet engine , leaving schools without power , and decimating entire communities unlucky enough to stand in their path. 
Case in point, one Georgia family has been forced to sell their home, after the state utility concern decided it needed to build a new transmission line to connect new AI data centers. 
As reported by CBS , the Brown family of Coweta County, Georgia decided to sell their home to Georgia Power, rather than risk seizure by eminent domain . 
Ansley Brown, whose parents raised her in the home, told CBS, “it’s ours. 
It’s our family. 
We belong here.” 
The Browns are just one of likely 300 landowners who will have their property seized so that Georgia Power  a for-profit , investor-owned corporation  can make a cozy home for the tech industry. 
“To us it’s theft,” Browns’ mother told CBS . 
“It’s literally a billion-dollar company stealing land from smaller people, people who can’t fight back. 
We don’t have the money to fight Georgia Power.” 
For its part, the utility company told CBS they “have worked hard to be transparent, negotiate in good faith,” and “make the process as easy as possible.” 
The Browns, understandably, don’t see it that way. 
“You can’t tear down 35 miles of rural Georgia and it not hurt something or somebody,” the mother said. 
“And to say that you’re doing it in the name of data centers is a slap in the face to us, our community, our animals.”
