Part of Data centers

Suppose a data center pays for its own power lines and plants, so bills don't rise. It brings construction work, some permanent jobs, and property taxes, and would use up a tenth of your county's water, bought at regular rates. Should your county approve it?

Approve it. It pays for the water like any other customer, and the tax base and jobs make a tenth of the county's water a fair trade

Reject it. The tax base and the jobs are not worth a tenth of the water the county's homes and farms depend on
