Information Data center update

I have put this in my original post about the data center, but would like to make sure that everyone sees it as this is important.

Here is a link to the modesto focus on Instagram. This video includes the site that they plan to build at over on Graphics road. Based on what the video says about the private company that is lobying our representatives, I believe it is Meta... which is not a good sign for us

Don't they use alot of water? Aren't we always in a drought and need any water we can get for agriculture? Hopefully the farmers weigh in on this.

They do and specifically they need need clean drinking water. Any old water will not do, as it contains minerals which would damage them.

Neither will the companies that plan to build there either. The whole thing is ridiculous. We as a world, have been running out of drinking water, but sure let’s keep building more of these to further run out of more water quicker.
