Keep data centers far away! Can't wait for the AI bubble to burst.

Tin foil hats are better than having your head in the sand.

Gives time for environmental heritage review as well as creating zoning laws, regulations. Properly taxing and hopefully be able to ban them in Missouri and the united states.

I have not seen any real evidence that they are a good or bad. It's a new world.

E Fontaine

How about the electric bills of the communities they enter?

I am not a useful idiot bought off by CCP money to weaken the United States. The red banner with a fist holding a red flower pictured above is a Socialist Party logo. Protests against DCs are not grassroots they are paid protesters with foreign money led by people who go to Cuba & China for orders

Your tinfoil hat is a little tight, friend.

Steve Baumann

Agreed, the commies are all over this one.

Max

We have to stay ahead of China.

According to a report from Cambridge university data centers raise temperatures on average 3.2 degrees and up to 16 degrees of the surrounding area of up to 6 miles. We don't need extra heat here.

Data centers benefit the corporations who profit from this technology, but AI robs the country of jobs and spends massive energy resources on memes and false information. There are good uses for AI, but the technology is moving way too fast and should be slowed to balance energy needs with AI value.

Robert Johnson

We are in a drought and Data Centers should go where water is a seasonal commodity.
