民调：78%马里兰州可能选民反对在州内建数据中心
据马里兰大学巴尔的摩分校（UMBC）政治学院10月8日发布的民调，78%的可能选民反对在马里兰州建设数据中心。
这项民调于9月22日至27日对776名马里兰州居民进行，误差为正负3.5个百分点。其中370名可能选民中，仅13%支持在州内建数据中心；反对声浪在自家附近更强烈：77%的人反对在自己社区附近建数据中心。
最主要的担忧是成本——80%的受访者认为数据中心会推高他们的电费。学院主任米莱亚·克罗默表示，结果显示公众对数据中心行业地方影响的深度怀疑。
该民调发布之际，数据中心正在大西洋中部地区快速扩张，受税收优惠和邻近北弗吉尼亚大型服务器走廊吸引；与此同时，居民和地方官员因能源和水资源需求问题不断反弹。
78% of Likely Maryland Voters Oppose Data Centers in State, UMBC Poll Finds
A new poll released October 8 shows 78% of likely Maryland voters oppose building data centers in the state, according to the UMBC Institute of Politics.
The survey of 776 Marylanders, conducted September 22-27 with a margin of error of plus or minus 3.5 percentage points, found only 13% of the 370 likely voters surveyed support data center construction in Maryland. Opposition intensifies closer to home: 77% said they oppose a data center being built in their own community.
The top concern is cost — 80% of respondents said they believe data centers will drive up their electricity bills. Institute Director Mileah Kromer said the results show deep public skepticism toward the industry's local impact.
The findings land as data centers proliferate across the Mid-Atlantic, drawn by tax incentives and proximity to Northern Virginia's massive server-farm corridor, while residents and local officials push back over energy and water demands.
