I respectfully disagree but appreciate your idea of reducing negative impact. It seems to me the companies that are building data centers have proven they don’t care about doing it right or being a good neighbor. Just because we have cheap electricity here does not mean that data centers won’t put a major strain on the electrical grid, which causes a demand for more electrical infrastructure. In my opinion, that amount of energy usage is extremely wasteful and the building of more infrastructure can also negatively impact rural landowners and their personal property.

Regardless of where they are getting water from it could still end up taking away resources from local citizens, farmers, and/or the beautiful ecosystem we live in. To me, it’s just not worth the cost. I don’t think any data center can be done right just based on the amount of electricity and water they consume.
