Microsoft identified itself as a prospective owner of a 237-acre data center site in Michigan's Lowell Charter Township, responding to local opposition by pausing the rezone process to engage with the community. Heatmap analysis indicates that at least 25 data center projects were canceled last year in the U.S. due to similar opposition. Investors are advised to monitor companies like GE Vernova, Centrus, and Energy Fuels, along with water-focused ETFs such as Invesco Water Resources ETF, First Trust Water ETF, Invesco S&P Global Water Index ETF, and GlobalX Clean Water ETF, particularly the First Trust Water ETF that tracks the ISE Clean Edge Water Index.
