@briankrebs@infosec.exchange The big problem is honesty. They do not recognize the impacts that they bring. Sure, they'll pay for the power that they use. However, who pays for the extra power generation capacity that the public utility will have to build? It will be financed on the back of every citizen. There's nothing intrinsically wrong with Data Centers, if your eyes are open, you have real data and can protect the public from the impact on power, water and the environment. They have the "unmitigated gall" to call these projects green (boy, please!) @pluralistic@mamot.fr says that Data Centers have a useful life of 3 years....another unaccounted factor. They cure cancer, Erectile Dysfunction, and Chronic Fatigue Syndrome. They not only grow back hair but will grow back limbs. https://governor.mo.gov/press-releases/archive/amazon-investing-10-billion-montgomery-county
