HUGE issues in rural Texas right now, as just about every rural county is being hammered with AI data center proposals...locals are trying to fight every one of these resource guzzling propositions, but of course greedy land owners (sadly, most are generational inheritances of the land and couldn't care less about their grandparents farming and ranching land preservation) are seeing big $$$ while they live in large cities, far from the light pollution, noise pollution, disruption for nearby animals and birds...we are being lied to about the amount of water consumption AND electricity consumption, until it will be too late and our ranchers and farmers as well as neighbors will be running dry of well/aquifer water...when the big AI companies get serious push-back from one county, they just move on to the next county and start their bullshit proposals/tax abatement crap again...Texas needs to ban AI centers, PERIOD, says THIS 5th generation Native Texan!
locals are trying to fight every one of these resource guzzling propositions,
What resource? Water? Do you think they poison the water? Electricity then? What society has ever become worse off by fulfilling the demand for electricity?
