US Farmers Are Rejecting Multimillion-Dollar Datacenter Bids For Their Land
Posted by BeauHD on Monday February 23, 2026 @10:30PM from the not-for-sale dept.

An anonymous reader quotes a report from the Guardian:

When two men knocked on Ida Huddleston's door last May, they carried a contract worth more than $33m in exchange for the Kentucky farm that had fed her family for centuries. According to Huddleston, the men's client, an unnamed "Fortune 100 company," sought her 650 acres (260 hectares) in Mason county for an unspecified industrial development. Finding out any more would require signing a non-disclosure agreement. More than a dozen of her neighbors received the same knock. Searching public records for answers, they discovered that a new customer (PDF) had applied for a 2.2 gigawatt project from the local power plant, nearly double its annual generation capacity. The unknown company was building a datacenter. "You don't have enough to buy me out. I'm not for sale. Leave me alone, I'm satisfied," Huddleston, 82, later told the men.

As tech companies race to build the massive datacenters needed to power artificial intelligence across the US and the world, bids like the one for Huddleston's land are appearing on rural doorsteps nationwide. Globally, 40,000 acres of powered land – real estate prepped for datacenter development -- are projected to be needed for new projects over the next five years, double the amount currently in use. Yet despite sums that often dwarf the land's recent value, farmers are increasingly shutting the door. At least five of Huddleston's neighbors gave similar categorical rejections, including one who was told he could name any price.

In Pennsylvania, a farmer rejected $15m in January for land he'd worked for 50 years. A Wisconsin farmer turned down $80m the same month. Other landowners have declined offers exceeding $120,000 per acre -- prices unimaginable just a few years ago. The rebuffs are a jarring reminder of AI's physical bounds, and limits of the dollars behind the technology. [...] As AI promises to transcend corporeal fallibility, these standoffs reveal its very physical constraints -- and Wall Street's miscalculation of what some people value most. In the rolling hills of Mason county and farmland across America, that gap is measured not in dollars but in something harder to price: identity.

Saludos.

Una cuestión. ¿Qué es lo que necesitan los Datacenter para funcionar? He leido que obviamente necesitan terrenos y energia. También que necesitan agua. Estoy pensando en mi pueblo de la España más vacia, ya que nos han puesto los molinos de aire, a ver si podemos sacar algún provecho de las temperaturas bajas que soportamos...

FICHA || EL PROPÓSITO DE LA ERA CERO.—

En 2026, primer año de la Era Cero, tratándose de economías de propiedad privada del Capital mayoritaria, la Inteligencia Artificial y la generalización de 'data-centers' está revelándose como lo que en los 2000 fue la manía 'punto com' y los 'huertos solares', supuestos salvavidas de la estafa del Ladrillo, núcleo duro del modelo económico muerto en 2006-2010 y enterrado en 2025.

No nos dejemos llevar. IA, 'Data centers', internet y huertos solares, los justos y necesarios. Si no, amplificaremos el dolor del cambio de patrón de Producción-Renta-Gasto.

Lo que ha de transformarse es más profundo.

Ya no toca 'rehimbertir' en inmuebles y demás actividades aproductivas. Toca 'deshimbertir'.

Es hora de trabajar o emprender para intentar que la Nación goce de:

• una Producción (Oferta) abundante, variada y de buena calidad, y con algún producto que prevalezca frente a las economías de acumulación de Capital estatal;

• una distribución de la Renta equilibrada que penalice los dos grandes rentismos parasitarios del Capital & Dinero: el inmobiliario y el financiero;

• un Gasto (Demanda) estable y previsible, con combinaciones óptimas de consumo/ahorro (inversión), público/privado e interno/externo.

No es tan difícil hacerlo. Basta con una mínima planificación central capitalista que incluya la coordinación del sector privado. La estabilidad monetaria, gracias a Dios, la tenemos y de sobra: el euro, la mejor moneda del mundo.

Esto es lo que hay, señoras, señores. Ya es historia la época del 'todos capitalistitas' y la simpleza mágica de dos curvitas que se cruzan en el éter gracias a tu no benevolencia. Perseverar en el error solo llenará la economía de payasos horripilantes y te consolidará a ti como el estafadorcillo de la señorita Pepis que eres ahora, preso de tu pequeño mundo de señor Feliciano y tus fantasías animadas de ayer y hoy.

España corre el peligro de convertirse en una economía estéril en la que los españoles estorbamos. Un escaparate, un parque temático para felones de la Nación o visitantes pastoreados por operadores extranjeros, para los que solo somos un filón del que extraer rentas, que algún día se agotará. La culpa no es ni de la banca ni de los políticos. Es una mezcla entre el anglo y tú.

Nord Stream gas pipelines may resume work with US participation — daily

Washington hopes to expand its control over the energy infrastructure in the region, the newspaper said

BERLIN, February 22. /TASS/. The United States may play a key role in the potential resumption of the Nord Stream pipelines’ work, German daily Berliner Zeitung* reported citing its sources.

According to the daily, Washington may start delivering the Russian natural gas to Europe again, hoping to expand the United States' control over the energy infrastructure in the region. The German daily reports that negotiations, which are closed to the public and media, are allegedly underway on the possible resumption of the Nord Stream pipelines’ work.

French daily Le Monde diplomatique also reported earlier that informal contacts regarding the possible resumption of Nord Stream work are held without the participation of international institutions and are closed to the public. The daily called it "behind-the-scenes diplomacy."

Unprecedented damage to three strings of the Nord Stream 1 and Nord Stream 2 offshore gas pipelines was recorded on September 26, 2022. The Russian Prosecutor General’s Office opened a criminal case into an act of international terrorism.

US Housing Market Has Major Gap Between Sellers and Buyers

The U.S. housing market has finally turned in favor of buyers, as sellers now outnumber them by more than 600,000, or 44 percent, according to a new study by real estate brokerage Redfin.

The gap between sellers and buyers, at 30 percent, was already notable a year ago, when buyers started withdrawing to the sidelines of the market due to ongoing affordability issues and growing economic anxiety.

But the one reported in January, at 44 percent, is the largest gap in Redfin’s records dating back to 2013—with the exception of December 2025, when it reached 45 percent.

A Historical Shift In Favor of Buyers

For the past several years, a chronic shortage of for-sale homes across the country has meant that Americans were facing a seller’s market and had little to no power to negotiate ever-rising prices.

But things are finally changing, with a recent growth in listings across the country allowing buyers to negotiate lower prices, at least in those parts of the country where inventory has grown the most.

Redfin defines a market where there are over 10 percent more sellers than buyers as a buyer’s market, and a market where there are over 10 percent fewer sellers than buyers as a seller’s market. When the gap is more or less 10 percent, a market is considered balanced.

Based on this definition, the U.S. is officially a buyer’s market, and has been so since May 2024. But to many would-be homebuyers in the country, especially first-time buyers, this shift has failed to make a significant impact.

Why For Many It Doesn’t Feel Like Things Have Changed at All

The advantage gained by buyers over sellers is yet to be reflected on the market data.

As of January, according to Redfin, home prices were still rising, though much slower than they were in previous years, and mortgage rates were still historically elevated. The median sale price of a typical U.S. home was $423,261, up 1.1 percent from a year earlier, and the national average 30-year fixed mortgage rate was 6.1 percent.

The fact that affordability has not massively improved, despite the current gap between sellers and buyers, is clear in the home sales figures. In January, 277,575 homes were sold across the country, down 9.03 percent from a year earlier, and those took 7 days longer to go under contract than in January 2024, for a total of 66 days.

“It’s only a buyer’s market for those who can afford to buy,” Redfin wrote in its report. “High housing costs and economic uncertainty have caused many house hunters to retreat, creating an imbalance of buyers and sellers.”

The sudden surge in sellers has been caused, in a significant part, by growing numbers of buyers withdrawing from the market—whether that is to wait for lower mortgage rates, lower prices, or better economic and job security.

The number of homebuyers in the U.S. fell 1 percent month-over-month in January and 8 percent year-over-year to an estimated 1.36 million—the lowest level on record, according to Redfin.

In the same month, the number of sellers in the market fell 1 percent month-over-month to an estimated 1.96 million, while surging 2 percent year-over-year.

While on an annual basis the share of sellers on the market is still growing, the monthly data shows a different picture: many sellers who do not have to offload their properties are delisting them instead upon realizing buyers are unwilling to match their asking price. Others are choosing not to put them on the market in the first place.

Which Markets Are Buyers’ Ones, And Which Sellers’?

The U.S. housing market is still showing a stark regional divide, with parts of the country that have seen the most new construction in recent years now facing the starker price corrections in the nation.

That is why most of the strongest buyers’ markets in the country are in Florida and Texas, the two states which built the most new homes since the pandemic, and which have seen a significant slowdown in demand since the end of the pandemic and widespread return-to-office orders.

The strongest buyer’s market in January was Miami, Florida, which had an estimated 159 percent more home sellers than buyers. It was followed by Fort Lauderdale, Florida (with 128 percent), Austin, Texas (124 percent), Nashville, Tennessee (120 percent), and San Antonio, Texas (114 percent).

On the other hand, there were only five seller’s markets in the country that same month among the 50 major U.S. metropolitan areas analyzed by Redfin.

These were Newark, New Jersey, which had an estimated 31 percent fewer sellers than buyers, Nassau County, NY (-29 percent), Milwaukee, Wisconsin (-26 percent), Montgomery County, Pennsylvania (-26 percent) and New Brunswick, New Jersey (-17 percent).

It is not by coincidence that these are all markets that continue seeing an acute shortage of inventory while demand remains relatively high.

“Two things are fueling Milwaukee’s seller’s market: a drop in mortgage rates and a lack of inventory,” said local Redfin Premier real estate agent W.J. Eulberg in the report.

“Mortgage rates are lower than they were six months ago and a year ago, which has brought buyers back into the fold. And while listings are creeping back up, we still have less than three months of supply. That means buyers don’t have a lot of homes to choose from, which is driving up prices and competition.”

El jardín de Armida - John Collier, 1899

El Jardín de Armida es una forma poética de referirse a la ilusión, la tentación y la trampa que puede esconder un placer aparentemente perfecto, 'epsteiniano' o 'mar-a-lagoniano', je, je.

Me encanta que Brasil no se deje avasallar. Es obvio por qué.

Lástima que Madrid-Mierdrid haya sucumbido. Lo habrá de pagar.

El jardín de Armida también es una metáfora del Ladrillo. Ese ático con puestas de sol, ese chalé con piscina en la sierra, hipotéticos paraísos, pero falsos y engañosos. Su propósito no es la felicidad, sino atrapar a quien cae en ellos.

La estafa del Ladrillo es lo único que pude hacer evolucionar la guerra de Ucrania, que hoy cumple cuatro años, de mero freno a la UE a una máquina de triturar tu vida o la de los tuyos.]
