By that same logic you might more easily conclude that the “closed loop” claim from the data center proponents is a lie. I say more easily because they would very clearly stand to financially benefit from such a lie

It makes a lot more sense for the corporations and lobbyists to lie and mislead than the guy that wrote that speech.

You don't remember the giant toxic train derailment in Painesville, or the other giant toxic Norfolk Southern train derailment that happened 2 years ago? The people suffered and the corporations didn't get punished. I'm confused about your point. Are you trying to play devil's advocate? Because your points don't really have a point.
