All those data centers around the country were built with the lie that they would provide lots of high paying jobs. They didn't.
Even more are being built now and these are focused on AI which requires far more electricity to run. While replacing jobs across the globe.
So let's quadruple the price that these companies pay for electricity and water. If they leave because of that, so what? It's a benefit IMO.
