  1. If ever you’ve wondered how Indiana managed to go bankrupt building canals, just re-read Todd Huston’s comments…
    the consequences of building these centers, which are of questionable long-term economic value, are not his concern. It’s just important we have them in Indiana. Because they’re cool and cutting edge and new and bright and shiny…
    Maybe we should build these new centers near the old canals, and set up waterwheels to power them…

    1. That was exactly my thought after reading Todd Huston’s quote. Good grief. He should have just said he “flat out doesn’t care about the environment”.

    2. Building pointless highways is another way in which Indiana’s current leadership acts like the leadership that bankrupted the State with canals in the 1800s.

  2. The merits of data centers deserve to be debated, but I’m very much on board with Indiana pursuing small modular reactors. We can and should be at the forefront of that technology.

  3. Indiana should place a 10-year moratorium on all data centers projects. This is absurd to even still be debating how to power a zero-job gigawatt plant.
