The water use is a huge disaster that no one is talking about.

Hard hitting news reporting there. “Some people are making money. Some people aren’t. There’s a lot of activity because it’s a huge project”. fricking idiot.

More people are talking about it and some have had success shutting down the proposals in their cities but with counsel members signing NDA's with these large companies and giving them billions in tax abatements...they are somehow rammed through and the tax burden falls on the taxpayer if they leave before the agreed time is up. Massive amounts of water that should be helping farmers...and causing air and noise pollution.
It lowers property values and taxes as well as utilities rates are hiked in favor of the data centers.

The new quad chips will make this obsolete in a few years. A bunch of people who thought they would get rich quick will be left holding the bag.
Tech companies are notorious for fricking contractors as the technology advances.

The taxpayers will be left holding the bag too...hence rising property tax bills.
ETA: Is this what will help force people into smart cities?

Yes. By the time these data centers are operational they will be anachronisms.

What she is not telling you is that one of the wealthiest farmers in that region donated that land for economic development about 20 years ago. The State has proposed to build a car plant, steel mill, and numerous other facilities but they were all turned down.

This is why im bullish on Elon's idea to put the data centers in orbit where there's plenty of space and no water required. That needs to happen quickly

According to a quick search. A data center uses about 1 ton of cooling per every 200-300 sq for
A 7,000,000 sq ft facility would use about 23,333 tons of cooling (at 300 sq ft/ton)
To put that into perspective, that is in the range of peak cooling for the entire LSU campus, which is over 200 buildings…. (Campus load fed from the CHW plant by Tiger stadium and the one by the Parker coliseum).
