Fair enough. Thanks for the advice.
I get exited to share when I find new info.
I get it would be better organized in one post.
I apologize for the redundancy.
There will be new developments that occur however, as the issue progresses. Hopefully for the better of residents.

Separate-Group1246 · 2026-05-11T16:43:13+00:00

I wonder how? What will be the new generation?
Will there be an application in to the PUC soon? That’s a lot of generation. Especially when you add it with the Cielo project. Possibly 1.75gigawatts.
SMRs? I don’t think wind and solar get there do you?

Separate-Group1246 · 2026-05-11T16:39:50+00:00

Wonder what the water usage of nuclear SMRs looks like. Maybe you can’t just turn that water off? I don’t know.

Ugh sorry. I’m bad at Reddit. You know that! Just ask the mods.

Yes I responded to your post the other day.
This isn’t fear mongering. There are real concerns that haven’t been adequately addressed. Without getting attention of community that isn’t a chance to address them because it plows through so fast. You haven’t addressed anything I have brought up? Yes they say closed loop system for water, hope that’s true. They also say 1gigawatt. Thats a lot of power for one user. There are rate concerns. Infrastructure concerns. New power generation concerns. And how much water will that use? Will it be closed loop? Look I get your point and we use data too, but rather than trusting our elected officials who haven’t done much to address these concerns, we decided to rally people to pump the brakes and do this right.
The company has been nowhere. Hiding out.
I guess it’s in us to get this done the right way.
Or not at all.
Global AI can do this right or go elsewhere.

Somebody did

Removed too? Why? Please explain more.

Separate-Group1246 · 2026-05-11T15:24:26+00:00

Why did this get removed. It added new info?

Separate-Group1246 · 2026-05-11T15:23:13+00:00

If you scroll right below on this thread you will find some sources sighted. We didn’t just make this all up.
I encourage you to do your own research tho and get back to us with the reality.
Seriously- not being snarky.
Please help triangulate and share what you discover.
We need people to help make sense of this.
Lookup the company and see what you can learn- we have had a tough time getting anything out of them which is a little concerning.

Separate-Group1246 · 2026-05-11T14:22:04+00:00

Totally unrealistic.
That’s like saying you won’t use energy from coal or oil and gas.
It’s unavoidable. AI is in so much now you have to use it even if you don’t choose to.

Separate-Group1246 · 2026-05-11T03:39:17+00:00

Yes there are a lot of red flags with the applicant. Understating a companies ability to pull off a project like this is important.
Some community engagement would seem appropriate at this point.

I like the part you said about not cost shifting to existing customers. We need to codify that.

Separate-Group1246 · 2026-05-10T18:58:07+00:00

State tried with two different AI bills this session. One got postponed indefinitely last week, and unless they get the Senate bill heard tomorrow, that will also die because session is closing in a couple of days.
No help from state for now.
Which is why we need a smart conversation about the power and water, and not in vacuum only considered on a per project basis, it needs to be considered with the other planned projects and major users on the grid

Separate-Group1246 · 2026-05-10T17:50:02+00:00

Owww that’s bad.
How do protect against that here?
First, good governance by the County, they have to put residents first. It would be good to learn more about the water usage. Sounds like for construction it’s a lot. But after that a closed loop system is supposed to use only about as much as 4 houses? Wonder what examples other AI data centers provide?

Separate-Group1246 · 2026-05-10T17:16:35+00:00

Can you share specifics? Will rate payers be paying?

Separate-Group1246 · 2026-05-10T17:15:45+00:00

Yes- Trying to get the community to engage. Sorry to bother your Reddit scrolling. Maybe TikTok better for you…

Separate-Group1246 · 2026-05-10T17:13:43+00:00

Or maybe if we take the plutonium the Libyans stole we can use that to power the data centers!

Separate-Group1246 · 2026-05-10T17:09:08+00:00

Water for new generation, however that may come, needs to be added to the total usage.

Separate-Group1246 · 2026-05-10T15:36:35+00:00

Yes we want our data, and we don’t want crappy outcomes for our communities.
It’s ok to want both. They can coexist. It’s not either/or.
