At the end of the day, datacenter subsidies are scams like no other. Worse than subsidizing professional sports and anything else. There is zero merit to it.
If anything, datacenter operators should be providing “subsidies” to the public. For example, they should be generating their own green power & upgrading utility operator grids.
Indiana doesn’t even have net metering (paying $$$ for energy put back into the grid) so the idea that we’d push data centers to generate green energy is laughable at best.
50 year tax abatements offered from our own legislature and the IEDC is the reason all the data centers showed up to begin with. Plus the fact the data center folks see us as dumb, easy, cheap, and gullible. We all know the Franklin township group is Google, but they, and the rest, hide behind LLC names to save money and their public images. The claims of commitments are nothing more promises not broken yet, like many developers love to deal out.
The mega use of our electricity, which will have to be increased, and the use of our water, a non-renewable resource, are the biggest concerns for the long term survival of our citizens.
Like Robert H above says, it’s a scam we won’t be able to stop or reverse once allowed and approved.
🙁
