      These companies are going to act all surprised when one of these residents takes action.

      more and more I have noticed that the will of the people is ignored following the example set by trump.

      When government no longer represents its people, what reason is there to follow the laws set forth by that government?

      On nuclear power stations, they have cooling towers to stop the waste of water. It was not their choice because you cannot dump radio active water back into the sewers.

      But those data centers projects do not want to build cooling towers to recycle the water like nuclear reactors because they are expensive.

      Dumping clean hot water is cheaper. Drought? Who cares about that, that is someone else’s problem next year as long as I get this turd built.

      No. The title here is incorrect click bait. 

      The township government tried to use exclusionary zoning to block it, which is illegal in michigan since 2006. 

      Lots of people in the county are pissed that Saline township was not able to block it, when 15 miles away Augusta township tried the same stuff to block a solar farm and people in the county were pissed the township tried to block that. Its definitionally twofaced.

      „township secured around $14 million in community benefits, including money for farmland preservation and the local fire department, along with environmental restrictions and limits on water use.“

      Sweet they scored 0.1% of that deal for funding due to action against their will.

      This is so wrong

      They won’t listen until some people are physically removed from some positions.

      Keep ignoring the will of the people, something’s going to snap. They will write it off as a business expense.

      You all noticing the trend of voting being outright ignored or not even held period?

      Will use 1.4 gigawatts of energy, roughly the same output of a nuclear powerplant

      What in the fuck

      What are the impacts to the people if there’s perpetual delays to construction?

      Oops, someone dumped a bunch of sugar into the setting concrete pad last night…. On my Minecraft server last night the scallywag.

      >There was also the JPMorgan data center expansion that received a $77 million tax break despite being expected to create just one permanent job.

      This is pretty typical. It’s not about job creation it’s about expanding a company’s capabilities for profit.

      Oracle, the same company that just laid off like 30,000 workers while their boss tries to make it illegal to criticize them.

      What a joke. These billionaires should not exist. Tax them out of existence and if they evade taxes, put them in a cell.

      Voting does not matter anymore. Too many cases of local, and state elections in particular, where the government ignored the outcome, or the courts invalidate the results. Voting does not matter anymore.

      So many people just read the headline and make an uninformed opinion. The headline is downright deceptive, and doesn’t come close to describing the actual situation at all. The only true thing is that construction has begun.

      >Residents assumed they had killed the proposal last year when the township board voted 4-1 to reject the rezoning request. Two days later, Related Digital and the landowners sued the township, arguing that the rejection amounted to exclusionary zoning because there was no land zoned for industrial use. Within weeks, the township settled, and construction eventually began anyway.

      If your municipality is not currently updating their Zoning to prevent exactly this situation, you need to go to the next meeting and ask why

      Or don’t be surprised when this happens to you and you’re powerless to stop it

      It says its consumption is similar to the output of a nuclear facility, but we have fermi in Michigan and it’s not outputting 1.4 GW, it’s closer to 1.2. Michigan already imports power(including a lot from or former friends Canada), this is just going to make that import process worse.

      The UAE is a central partner in the global Stargate project, acting as both a direct investor in U.S.-based infrastructure (including the Michigan site) and a host for its own massive „Stargate UAE“ campus.

      We will not be able to vote our way out of fascism.

      Virginia, Michigan, Maine, Ohio, Utah, Arizona, Massachusetts have all had ballot initiatives (or whatever the state calls them) reversed, ignored, or changed after the voters voted for them in recent years. Republicans HATE voter initiatives because the goal of the Republicans is to rule you, not to govern on behalf of you.

      The moment Trump got his 6 seat SCROTUS majority, we were fucked. Voting, at this point, is important, but in the end, they will not let us free ourselves through voting. They will simply ignore the votes. SCROTUS gave an election to Bush in the past. They eliminated the voting rights act and made it take effect early to steal the mid terms and disenfranchise black voters. They have allowed the Administration to go forward with plans to strip citizenship for „undesirables.“

      We are fucked. Proper fucked? Yes, proper fucked.
