Rumble on the River Community Forums #30: What is the Deal with Data Centers? - Episode 2
Like the spring-time emergence of invasive plants, data centers appear to be cropping up everywhere. Aside from providing limited long-term employment opportunities and receiving tax breaks, data centers demand extreme amounts of water, energy and land. This the second and all-new Rumble installment of the continuing story of data centers in our region.
