The problem is that "we" is bearing a burden here that it can't actually sustain. It sounds great, but "we" does not include the adversaries, so "we" can't actually do this.
The "we" that includes people who think data centers are a bad idea can and should push back on them, just like we can and should push back on jet travel because of its carbon footprint. But if we unilaterally disarm, that makes us less, not more, likely to succeed.
Systemic problems can't be solved by opting out.
