My city rejected one of these data centers already. They were promised something like $30mil for their trouble and "the creation of ~~temporary~~ jobs!" Thank goodness they listened to the People and their own common sense and unanimously rejected the proposal.
$30mil flat price and a few temporary jobs aren't worth everyone's energy costs going up, plus the noise pollution, plus the fact that they're a fuck ugly eyesore—all for the foreseeable future.
Fuck these technobro assholes. Get the fuck outta our state!
