Great follow up article. The poll didn't work for me, but I vote Yes!

It's interesting how this regime claims to want to have states take over everything from women's health care (i.e. abortion laws) to education funding. Yet, when it is something like this that is best considered from the citizens of the various state's perspective, the regime wants to criminalize such actions and impose their own will.

States' rights when politically convenient.

Thanks for a fine article and the large set of links for more info. In a few days of selective visits to various groups, I gathered over 100 names and addresses of people opposed to data centers. I used a template from Food & Water Action that had three sentences with sufficient info about data centers. Several people knew more than the sheet gave. Turns out data centers are quite noisy. Imagine a multiplicity of lawn mowers working 24/7, noxious air polluted with combustion of fossil fuels (in Ohio the powers in many counties and the State House are fossil fuel fans). In my area, the water table is good, but we have lots of farms, sometimes dry spells, and the local river occasionally runs low. Much suspicion too. Who owns it? What data are they going to analyze? My city council approved a center without first studying the regulations about it. I doubt they considered the morality of likely environmental damage.
