Jumped quite a bit due to the colder weather! Highest bill ever so far!

Sherry Scott Schafer

It increased because we had severely cold weather for a week.

Max

Yes it did, because we used more energy in the colder weather. That is not to difficult to understand, if you put your mind to it.

The large increases have not been universal -- some have reported bills that were only slightly higher than usual.

Only if they want massive investment that dramatically expands their taxbase and builds modern infrastructure close to the end users to support a growing futuristic economy. Unfortunately, Columbia city council listens to misguided special interests who live in leftist utopia dreamworld.

Max

City leaders would rather tax the citizens. They don't want the city to grow.

Taking rural land away, hurts the environment. We're destroying our world. Notice none are close to the people that want them.

Kaitlyn Gebhard

Bad for communities, environment, humanity, climate, pretty much everything.

Mushin Zenkoans

Large data centers can consume up to 5 million gallons of water per day, which is equivalent to the water use of a small city. Additionally, they can draw as much electricity as 100,000 homes or more, significantly impacting local resources. That is simply unacceptable.
