  1. Other than power companies and telecommunications companies, exactly how will Hoosiers benefit from the state of Indiana getting into the data center business?

    Is the concept that all the kids are moving away and heading elsewhere, may as well do something else?

  2. Joe, Murray, I’m with you. I had the same opinion when Indiana went full boar into the auto industry. Everybody knew the horse and buggy industry would always be tops.

    1. I fear this is akin to the time Indiana bet big on canals and bankrupted the state.

      Huston keeps claiming that data centers bring economic activity … I just need one person to explain it. How’s that work?

      Data centers are warehouses full of computers that need lots of power and connectivity. Good for utility companies, I guess?

      But it’s not like high tech jobs are gonna move to Indiana “to be closer to the data center”. After initial construction, you’re talking about a handful of people to keep the lights on and repair broken equipment. You aren’t going to fill the data centers with a bunch of “made in Indiana” computers or components.
