That would explain the “wood fires.” They want that land.

Are they?

And they are building it here for various reasons but primarily

Cheap land
Cheap water
Cheap electricity
Tax credits

Thank you. I just saw a blurb on Fox News 8 New Orleans on the centers. Disgusting.

Considering these are all tied into the same grid; I'm much more worried about what they'll do to my electricity bill than the local eyesore.

Socialize the costs, and privatize the profits.

How about human lives in 20. I can’t imagine there won’t be health repercussions. Not to mention what it will do with nature. I saw a show once where a town didn’t have drinking water bc of chemicals used and had to line up for a dole. This will be our future down the road.

Leave the land alone. We don’t need data centers. So many going up. In 20 years there will be even more cancer, probably unaffordable utilities and lack of natural resources. It’s just plain evil to me.

Statements like this make it to Facebook and eventually get retold as fact.

Hard to disprove once people misconstrue two stories.

It was years ago. I forget the name of the tv show. It just seems we are being set up for a future that isn’t good. Hopefully, I’m wrong.

No, not a troll. And plenty feel this way. Why do you think folks are fighting against it? Hopefully, I’m wrong. If they do cause issues, it likely won’t be my generation suffering, but our kids and grandkids.

The company that owns them, the utility that gets a commercial PPA, the PUC and politicians that get donations to push the contract through, and businesses who are shifting more human tasks to AI.

I’m pretty sure the one that they are building in Blanchard is paying to upgrade the entire water system for the town. A few weeks ago, they had to close schools because of water issues.
