Paraphrase: Said in a South Dakota Searchlight interview that data centers must benefit the local grid, protect water, respect local control and not raise power rates.4
Whether as attorney general or a member of Congress, my position will be local control. Some communities don't want it; it should not be forced upon them.4

Questions

How many data centers are in this county?

This page lists every data center campus we track in the county: operating, under construction, permitted and announced. Figures are listed site by site and never added up across claim types. Source

What trades build data centers?

Electricians lead, then pipefitters, HVAC mechanics, ironworkers, equipment operators, laborers and controls technicians. Apprenticeships through union halls and state programs are the main way in. Source

How do I find a data center job near me?

Open any site page and use Find jobs here or use our national jobs page to filter by state and trade. Source

Every figure links to a public source. A blank means we have not linked a source yet, not zero. Sources and methods
