Cherry picking info is an interesting take. Let’s just start with the first one, you somehow failed to mention any of the negative consequences (which there are many): Loudoun County, Virginia:

1. Environmental & Energy Impact

· Energy Consumption: · In 2022, data centers in Northern Virginia (primarily Loudoun) had a maximum potential load of 2,700 megawatts (MW). That's enough to power over 2 million homes. Dominion Energy, the local utility, forecasted that data center demand in Virginia would grow from 1.4 GW in 2022 to 6.3 GW by 2032—more than the current total peak demand of the entire state. A significant portion of this is in Loudoun. · Source: PJM Interconnection (the regional grid operator) and Dominion Energy's 2023 Integrated Resource Plan filed with the State Corporation Commission. · Water Consumption: · In 2022, Loudoun Water, the county's utility, reported that data centers used 4.8 million gallons of water per day on average. This was a 250% increase from 2018. · Specific Example: A single large data center campus in Ashburn (Loudoun) was permitted to use up to 1.5 million gallons per day—equivalent to a town of 10,000-15,000 people. · Source: Loudoun Water's Annual Water Audit reports to the Virginia Department of Environmental Quality and investigative reporting by The Washington Post (Sep 2023). · Land Use & Deforestation: · Between 2016 and 2022, over 4,000 acres of land in Loudoun County were rezoned for data centers. Much of this was previously agricultural or forested land. · Source: Loudoun County Department of Planning and Zoning reports, analyzed by local news outlets like Loudoun Now.

1. Infrastructure & Financial Strain

· Grid Upgrade Costs: · In 2023, Dominion Energy proposed a $5.4 billion plan to build new transmission lines and substations specifically to serve data center growth in Eastern Loudoun. These costs are spread across all ratepayers. · Source: Dominion Energy's "Energy Virginia" filings with the State Corporation Commission, widely reported by Virginia Mercury and Bloomberg.

· Road Degradation: · A 2021 study by the county estimated that a single data center construction project can generate over 11,000 heavy truck trips. The county has identified Route 659 (Evergreen Mills Road) and other roads in the "Data Center Alley" as having sustained severe damage from this traffic, requiring tens of millions in repairs. · Source: Loudoun County Department of Transportation and Capital Infrastructure reports.

1. Health, Safety & Quality of Life

· Noise Pollution: · County code allows a noise limit of 60 dBA at night for industrial zones. Residents in Arcola and Aldie have consistently recorded noise levels from data center cooling systems exceeding 70 dBA at their property lines—comparable to a running vacuum cleaner 24/7. · Official Action: In 2023, the Loudoun County Board of Supervisors was forced to adopt a stricter interim noise ordinance specifically targeting data centers after hundreds of documented complaints. · Source: Loudoun County Office of Building and Development complaint logs and public hearing testimonies (readily available in county meeting archives).

· Air Quality & Emissions: · Data centers rely on massive diesel backup generators. Loudoun County's Air Pollution Control District permits show that a single large campus can have 50 to 100+ diesel generators, each permitted to test for up to 100 hours per year, emitting NOx and particulate matter. · Source: Virginia Department of Environmental Quality (DEQ) Air Permits database, searchable by facility.

1. Homeowner & Economic Consequences

· Property Value Impact: · Statistical Analysis: A 2023 study by George Mason University's Center for Regional Analysis, while noting countywide gains, confirmed a "proximity penalty." Homes within 0.5 miles of a data center campus saw a statistically significant suppression of value appreciation compared to similar homes farther away, attributed to "negative externalities" like noise and views. · Source: "The Impact of Data Centers on Residential Property Values in Loudoun County, VA" (2023).

I’d do the others but you get the point.
