Very very few permanent jobs. Homeowners’ electric bills will double or triple. No idea how they’re going to source that much water.

The new NIMBY. Everyone wants to use the internet, but nobody wants the infrastructure to support it.

The public is continually promised there will not be an impact on utility bill rates to support these projects, how is that enforced? Does IURC have the authority and ability to review that effectively or is new legislation needed to ensure the data centers pay for all of the costs of their utility usage including new infrastructure?
