## Data centers and energy

### Subjecting the proliferation of data centers to collective debate
Principle · Siting and Land · June 22, 2026

> Is it really reasonable to line our cities with illuminated advertising screens, to equip ourselves with clothes dryers, to launch ourselves without debate into the proliferation of data centers, or into 6G after 5G? All of these are collective choices that must be debated.

Original French quote: Est-ce bien raisonnable de tapisser nos villes d’écrans publicitaires lumineux, de nous équiper de sèche-linge, de se lancer sans débat dans la multiplication des data centers, ou encore dans la 6G après la 5G ? Autant de choix collectifs qui doivent être débattus.
