Who represents this county
As governor, I'd want a bill on my desk to make sure these data centers pay their own way, including covering any increase in costs on utilities so that your bills don't go up one cent.4
I think one, we need to have no more tax breaks to these corporations. Pay their fair share. Secondly, we need to make sure that these data centers are not driving up the energy rates to the end user.5
I think they should be mandated to be on a closed loop circuit, which can reduce water consumption somewhere between 70 and 90%.5
