They say that theyre not trying to hide anything from the public but also say they dont think the public should know yet.
You’d be surprised how many of these data centers are wrapped in NDA’s when under construction.
I’m surprised they don’t build solar/windmill farms next to these. Sure, the upfront cost is more expensive, but over the long term there should be adequate returns.
Why are locals against it? Is it polluting or something?
It’s probably Kansas. One city just had the flint MI water company build a water treatment plant. And guess what? It’s not functional due to design flaws and mechanical failures. Fucking idiots would definitely build a data center.
Laguna Park, Texas
It’s massive. Est. 6-7 Target shopping centers big. First massive building is almost complete. Next to a Dam that produces power. Within a few miles of thousands of acres of newly installed solar.
The locals will find out once the electricity costs go through the roof
Visa/Mastercard has had one buried deep underground in Omaha for years. It’s not really a new methodology.

Down with the foreign oligarchs, pedophiles, grifters, and thieves.
Oh is this not the one they are calling a “ballroom?”
They’ll know it’s there when they get their electric and water bills alongside their brown outs and water restrictions.
Local resident are dumb. I run for office and they do zero research on topic there angry at
“Sam’s Storage Inc.”
Does anyone else think these places SCREAM Los Pollos Hermanos a little too loudly not to be being investigated regularly?
Minority report buildings
If you have to build them in secret to avoid backlash then you shouldn’t build them. Nobody wants that shit anymore
This definitely will not escalate with communities when their power bills soar. No way doing it in secret without community support backfires

Something something digital ID.
What does it look like inside?
Is this not the one in south haven MS?
A good series of accidents to the structures might happen 🤔
“You go to some of these small locations… It’s not like these towns have really sophisticated public communications departments with people that handle all of this. It’s really a sensitivity for them, not for us.”
It’s no problem for me, but is a problem for you.
Might be a nice time for a few coders/programmers with a bit of free time to make an app or website that tracks these constructions in real time.
Burn em all down
