That IS true and my brother works for the largest facilitator of Data Centers in the country ... they, and Quanta Services, are worth investing in, even now.

I've done my due diligence. All the negative BS is Marxo-Commie propaganda designed to help China outpace us in the Ai tech war.

The rising utilities cost is a myth.. you fell for the propaganda.

One example would be to actually watch the video I posted. I would think that he knows more about it than anyone on this website

Our science education system has failed. The water cycle is still a thing.

Did you come out of your mom’s basement with all this conspiracy theory jibberish? You haven’t done much research on the pros and cons of a data center jave you?

For a fact they consume more water and power than states. Raise the temperature and terrible for the environment. As said they have little to no employment.

Its not a myth. I have family in VA

I also have family in the Alexandria area. And its no coincidence that once data centers got announced, CLECO, the local power company suddenly got purchased by a PE firm

Wonder why they would do that? Is there about to be a utility boon in that area?

Why would a global company want a local ultility?

Lulz, that you fell for the propaganda in that video

The paper mill in Bogalusa destroyed that town but they get the same breaks. But for some reason that’s okay.

I am fine with data centers as long as they do not get power from the local grid.

Louisiana has an area called cancer alley because of all of the chemical companies that operate there. And they pay almost zero property taxes. Ill take a data center all day long.

None of the is long term. Even assuming they use local construction companies and local workers (generally the companies are not local to that community and the workers are brought in from elsewhere for the specific project) it's at most a what, 1-2 year economic benefit in exchange for the local population giving the data center a decade plus tax break? That's hardly a fair deal for the community.

That's great for that project then. The one by me in Texas was completed in 18 months using the vast majority of non-local labor and provided essentially no local benefit for the community.

What is all this “long term” benefits you greedy frickers seek? 5 years of construction per project is as long as it gets you stupid mother frickers

Believe it or not, people can disagree with you and not want to be Chinese. I see the idea of any sort of civil discourse is just above you.

Essentially all the climate hoax money/tactics got reboxxed for data centers.

For me....it's the increase in land prices that is chapping my hide. Buying some land to have a nice little farm is just not attainable at this moment.

Frankly, I believe AI data centers will be the catalyst needed for the next energy revolution. Whether that be the proliferation of cheap, safe, clean microreactors (nuclear), or fusion breakthroughs or just a whole chain of efficiency upgrades to current energy production methods that gets us a 10x, 25x (or more) improvement, I can't say yet, but with so much money being diverted to it - it is the closest to the internet revolution (late 90s through 2004 or so) or the Apollo Program for there to be such a laser-like focus to economic growth.
