Curious why you would use generative AI to create a photo for inclusion in this coverage? Very likely that is the impetus of this build-out while the microgrid bill explicitly cites the need to sustain AI. Found it odd, considering the implications within this same story of such technology's immense environmental resource drain and the shady & disenfranchising industry practices related to the rush to support genAI. Wondering if this localized issue creates any dissonance for you or others around using genAI platforms.
Plenty of questions to be answered by 1) the owners of the property & 2) the politicians who crafted the legislation. Neither of these parties appear to have had much interest in informing or enlightening the local residents about the scope & impact of the project. That naturally leads to suspicion that there are issues that they preferred to hide. Not a good start. If the project truly offers benefits to residents, tax payers & job seekers, then let's have a comprehensive open conversation... before the enabling legislation is rammed through prematurely.
Cutting locals out of everything is a BAD idea.
I wonder how the legislation defines "environmental restrictions" and "blocking regulations by local governments" ?

good article. Seems like this effort is not transparent to the local community and the tax implications appear complicated
Thanks Ward, I appreciate the feedback.
