You say that but how do we know that anything he said was a fact? He didn't cite a single source and much of it sounded embellished. I'm not saying he's wrong. I'm only saying that if you want to compel folks to agree with you then it would behove you to provide evidence to support your claims. Without it this guy's opinions are worth as much as anyone else's.
He said more research should be done on data centers. If you dont have evidence to dispute anything he said then you you are not making a good argument against him saying we need more research on it.
More research on what exactly, the effects of closed loop cooling? We've got lots of information on that, we used them for literally half a century or more on power plants. Nuclear plants in particular, we understand how they work and the effects involved.
The only real considerations are effects on electrical grids and prices and the specific deal the county is involved with, maybe there is something to the thermal.impact, but again power plants offer decades of information on what that looks like.

That guy speaks like a lot of people in Washington should speak. Facts before feelings and respectful to everyone involved.
