(NEXSTAR) — The NFL is no stranger to imposing huge fines for excessive celebrations, much to the ire of football players and fans. But now, Bud Light, the official beer sponsor of the league is using the gaudy fine numbers to give back to fans via a “celly jar” containing $37,384. That specific number is […]

The area is home to the <a href="https://virginiamercury.com/2026/07/06/how-virginia-became-the-worlds-data-center-capital-and-how-its-going/" rel="nofollow">world’s largest concentration</a> of <a href="https://www.datacentermap.com/usa/virginia/" rel="nofollow">data centers</a>. In a survey we conducted, we found northern Virginians <a href="http://doi.org/10.1111/ssqu.70196" rel="nofollow">support development restrictions</a> that could make data centers more transparent and accountable to the public. But they care about some types of regulations more than others.</p><p>As <a href="https://www.mass.gov/news/governor-healey-no-data-centers-without-local-approval" rel="nofollow">public concerns about data centers’</a> electricity demand and effects on the environmental and surrounding communities have <a href="https://www.sevendaysvt.com/news/constructiondevelopment/absent-state-action-vermont-towns-move-to-block-data-centers/" rel="nofollow">grown around the nation</a>, <a href="https://www.datacenterwatch.org/report" rel="nofollow">organized opposition</a> to their construction is also on the rise – not only around the country but also at the epicenter of data centers.</p><figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img src="https://img.particlenews.com/image.php?type=thumbnail_580x000&amp;url=4AIyO6_1FXVJdSR00" alt="https://img.particlenews.com/image.php?url=4AIyO6_1FXVJdSR00" width="876" height="583" ><figcaption class="wp-element-caption">This aerial view shows an Amazon Web Services (AWS) data center adjacent to single-family homes in Stone Ridge, Virginia on August 12, 2026.

A week later, county officials <a href="https://www.nbcwashington.com/news/local/northern-virginia/proposed-2000-acre-data-center-in-prince-william-stirs-debate/4127320/" rel="nofollow">cited that opposition when rejecting a proposal</a> that would have rezoned another 2,000-acre area elsewhere in the county to allow more data centers.</p><p>Our research explored <a href="http://doi.org/10.1111/ssqu.70196" rel="nofollow">Virginians’ views on living near and among data centers</a>, identifying what they think about their experiences and how they want to shape future data center development projects that might come to their communities. In the fall of 2025, we surveyed 1,004 residents of northern Virginia and the Richmond metropolitan area – homes of the two largest data center clusters in Virginia.</p><h2 class="wp-block-heading">What we asked</h2><p>Rather than asking whether they supported or opposed specific policies, we presented survey respondents with pairs of policy combinations that combined different policy measures to regulate data centers and asked them which combinations they preferred. Those measures included locations of the centers, placement of power lines, electricity rates, environmental effects, reporting of energy and water usage and requirements for public review before approval.</p><figure class="wp-block-image"><a href="https://images.theconversation.com/files/761292/original/file-20260921-50-e79fv3.jpg?ixlib=rb-4.1.1&amp;q=45&amp;auto=format&amp;w=1000&amp;fit=clip" rel="nofollow"><img src="https://img.particlenews.com/image.php?type=thumbnail_580x000&amp;url=3o0T2j_1FXVJdSR00" alt="https://img.particlenews.com/image.php?url=3o0T2j_1FXVJdSR00" width="754" height="729" ></a><figcaption class="wp-element-caption">Survey respondents were asked to evaluate different combinations of policies governing data centers’ locations and operations. <a href="https://doi.org/10.1111/ssqu.70196Digital%20Object%20Identifier%20(DOI)" rel="nofollow">Zhang, Wang, Siddiki, Wong, Xu, 2026.</a></figcaption></figure><p>For instance, a respondent might choose between two combinations. One combination might include power lines being placed underground and data centers being allowed near homes and parks, but environmental impact assessments not being required. The other combination might include above-ground power lines, restrictions on data centers near homes and parks, and a required environmental impact assessment before approval.</p><p>Each respondent compared five pairs of combinations. Because the policy measures were varied across combinations, the same option appeared for different respondents alongside many combinations of other policies. This allowed us to statistically separate the influence of each individual option from the rest of the combination. In effect, we could see whether including a particular policy measure made people more or less likely to choose a combination, while averaging across the many combinations of other policies respondents saw. In this way, even though respondents evaluated complete policy combinations rather than individual measures in isolation, we could determine the independent influence of each policy option on their choices.</p><h2 class="wp-block-heading">Visible and immediate impacts matter</h2><p>Our analysis shows that residents most strongly supported policies addressing visible, immediate and tangible results, including requiring new electricity transmission lines to be built underground and restrictions on building data centers near homes, schools and parks. They also strongly support regular reporting of energy and water use.</p><iframe title="Underground wires, public input and protecting key spaces" id="datawrapper-chart-S9CJr" src="https://datawrapper.dwcdn.net/S9CJr/2/" height="334"></iframe><p>Our findings also underscore the importance that residents place on having a voice before data center projects are approved. Public participation is ranked second among the six policy provisions in shaping residents’ preferences.</p><p>For many years, many jurisdictions in Virginia have allowed developers to build data centers without public review, so long as the buildings meet existing zoning requirements. The public has often found itself asking questions only after major decisions have been made.</p><p>For instance, in July 2024, residents of Fairfax County’s Bren Mar neighborhood <a href="https://www.washingtonpost.com/dc-md-va/2024/07/29/fairfax-data-centers-zoning/" rel="nofollow">raised concerns about a proposed 466,000-square-foot data center</a>, only to find that local zoning laws allowed the developer to build it without a public hearing or much review or oversight.</p><p>In early 2025, Loudoun County, nicknamed “<a href="https://www.loudoun.gov/6408/Data-Centers-The-Loudoun-Story" rel="nofollow">Data Center Alley</a>,” ended automatic zoning approval for new data centers and <a href="https://www.loudoun.gov/6410/Land-Use-Considerations" rel="nofollow">required public hearings</a> before local officials decided on the proposals.</p><p>By contrast, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency under the Trump administration has moved to <a href="https://capitalbnews.org/data-centers-permit-rules-epa/" rel="nofollow">reduce requirements for public hearings</a> for air-pollution permits from data center projects.</p><h2 class="wp-block-heading">Complex issues need clearer explanations</h2><p>Our research found less public support for policy provisions governing more complex issues related to data centers. In particular, respondents were ambivalent about whether data centers should be <a href="https://eta-publications.lbl.gov/sites/default/files/2026-08/rate_designs_large_loads_2026.08.10.pdf" rel="nofollow">charged higher electricity rates</a> than other customers.</p><p>Infrastructure costs incurred to support data centers can ultimately pass down to other customers. According to a Bloomberg analysis, wholesale electricity prices near data centers <a href="https://www.bloomberg.com/graphics/2025-ai-data-centers-electricity-prices/" rel="nofollow">more than tripled</a> between 2020 and 2025.</p><p>As for retail price, in August 2026, Reuters reported that rapid data center growth in Virginia has forced local power company Dominion Energy to rely more on costly wholesale power, contributing to a proposed rate adjustment that could <a href="https://www.reuters.com/legal/litigation/virginia-data-center-boom-pushes-dominion-deeper-into-costly-power-market-2026-08-11" rel="nofollow">raise a typical residential bill by about $20 per month</a>.</p><p>We believe that members of the public can come to informed decisions about complex issues. But before they can do so, they may need help from technical experts like those who work for local and state governments to clearly communicate what’s involved and the trade-offs at stake.</p><h2 class="wp-block-heading">Growth and oversight can coexist</h2><p>Given their support for regulations on data centers, it’s tempting to assume that the respondents to our survey simply don’t want data centers in their communities. But, in fact, about <a href="http://doi.org/10.1111/ssqu.70196" rel="nofollow">47% of respondents</a> told us they support data center development in their area, while 25% are neutral and 27% oppose it.</p><p>These respondents were not simply saying “yes” or “no” to data centers. They have opinions about how data centers should be developed and which regulatory controls and safeguards should be in place.</p><p>Their views indicate that supporting data center growth and strengthening oversight are not competing goals. Residents may welcome development while expecting governments to address negative effects, provide opportunities for public input and establish safeguards to protect communities. The challenge for communities and their leaders is not simply deciding whether to allow data centers, but determining how to govern their growth.</p><em>Copyright 2026 Nexstar Media, Inc.

The Social Security Administration annually reports the 100 most common names for boys and girls born each year. It's because of this that we know there will soon be <a href="https://thehill.com/homenews/state-watch/5878229-these-were-the-most-popular-baby-names-in-your-state-last-year-data-shows/" rel="nofollow">Liams and Olivias</a> in kindergarten classes everywhere, if they aren't already.</p><p>It's also how we know that, if you turned 50 last year, your name is likely Jennifer or Michael or Jason. </p><a href="https://thehill.com/homenews/state-watch/6042162-these-baby-names-are-popular-in-one-state-and-one-state-only-data/" class="promo-link__link" target="&quot;_blank&quot;" rel="nofollow"> These baby names are popular in one state and one state only: Data </a><p>We looked back at SSA data to find the top boy and girl names of 1975 (since we don't yet know the top names of 2026, we had to use the most recent data set available, released last year, for a 50-year review).</p><p>Among girls born in 1975 (and any year between 1970 and 1984), the most popular name was Jennifer. While the most common name in each state can vary, Jennifer made a clean sweep in 1975, beating out any other girls' name in all 50 states and the District of Columbia. </p><p>The battle was not as simple among newborn boys. </p><p>SSA data shows that while Michael was the most common name for boys born in 1975 (and from 1961 to 1998), it was only the top name in 35 states and the District of Columbia. Jason claimed the No. 1 spot in 15 other states. </p><p>The map below shows how Michael and Jason divided the country in 1975: </p><iframe title="The top boy names for 1975 babies" id="datawrapper-chart-ZJRkw" src="https://datawrapper.dwcdn.net/ZJRkw/1/" height="475"></iframe><p>While Michael didn't win it all in 1975, it does outrank Jason and Jennifer overall. </p><p>Since 1926, the SSA <a href="https://www.ssa.gov/OACT/babynames/decades/century.html" rel="nofollow">reports</a>, there have been over 4.3 million Michaels born in the U.S. There may be even more, because "many people born before 1937 never applied for a Social Security card."</p><p>Michael stands as the second-most-common name of those born in the U.S., coming in roughly 200,000 shy of James. Among boys, Jason is the 26th-most popular name since 1926, having been bestowed upon more than 1.05 million newborns. </p><a href="https://thehill.com/homenews/nexstar_media_wire/5834618-the-creator-of-the-gender-reveal-party-is-horrified-at-what-parents-are-doing-now/" class="promo-link__link" target="&quot;_blank&quot;" rel="nofollow"> The creator of the gender reveal party is ‘horrified’ at what parents are doing now </a><p>Slightly more girls – about 1.47 million total – born since 1926 have been named Jennifer. It ranks No. 3 between Mary (2.8 million) and Patricia (1.5 million). </p><p>To find the last time either Jason or Jennifer ranked within the top 100 names for a state, you have to go back at least a few years. </p><p>Nexstar reviewed SSA baby name data following the fall of Jason and Jennifer. More specifically, we followed both names in each state from their spike in the 1970s until the last consecutive year they ranked within the top 100 names for boys and girls, respectively. </p><p>By around the early to mid-2000s, both names began ranking outside the top 100 names at the state level.</p><p>Jennifer hasn't cracked a state's top 100 since 2012, when it was No. 97 in California and Texas. Jason hasn't been in a state's top 100 since 2021, when it ranked at No. 72 in Maryland and No. 97 in Florida, based on a review of SSA data by Nexstar. </p><p>The interactive table below shows the last consecutive year in which Jennifer and Jason were among the 100 most popular girl and boy names, respectively, in your state. </p><iframe title="When Jason, Jennifer last ranked highly" id="datawrapper-chart-u6x19" src="https://datawrapper.dwcdn.net/u6x19/1/" height="797"></iframe><p>While they've experienced a decline in popularity, Jason and Jennifer still remain among the most common baby names. According to the <a href="https://www.ssa.gov/cgi-bin/popularnames.cgi" rel="nofollow">SSA</a>, Jason was the 126th-most popular name for boys in 2025. Jennifer was the 586th most common among girls. </p><p>There may be a reason why names rapidly lose prevalence.
