That's not the proposal, and is utter fantasy. I'm engaging a hypothetical here -- none of what's being discussed is even close to reality, in the sense that it won't be implemented. There will be new datacenters, some communities will successfully resist, but many won't.
What you propose is similar to proposing that we'll solve climate change by moving back to horse-and-buggy. Theoretically possible, practically impossible.

And strawmen, don't forget the strawmen... can you stop doing that for a second? You're just underlying your lack of arguments.

We moved from "don't resist or else" to "resistance is futile"... what else is new?
A strawman is different than an analogy.
But this discussion is quite tired. Thanks for your insights.
