Well...isn’t that too bad. We were here first. Need I say more?
RE: #2:
I LIVE IN RURAL HIGH DESERT IN N NEVADA.
WATER IS THE MAIN PROBLEM HERE.
GOD MADE THIS A DESERT-—
WE ALL LIVE ON WELLS IN THIS VALLEY. EVERY PARCEL.
LAST YEAR—WE WERE TOLD “ONE BUILDING WITH 30 FULL TIME ROUND THE CLOCK EMPLOYEES” LAST MONTH THAT HAD MORPHED INTO 7 “COMPLEXES” WITH 2,000 EMPLOYEES.
WE ARE ALLOTTED 2.2 ACRE FEET OF WATER ANNUALLY FOR DOMESTIC USE/LIVESTOCK/DROP SYSTEMS FOR TREES/VEGGIE GARDEN. NO “LAWNS”. AN ACRE FOOT OF WATER ===325,851 GALLONS. OUR ALLOTMENT==716,872 A YEAR. THIS VALLEY LIVES ON AN AQUIFER.
THE DATA CENTERS COMING IN ASKED FOR 20 ACRE FEET -—OVER 9 TIMES WHAT WE ARE ALLOWED.
THAT IS 6,517,020 GALLONS OF WATER===20 ACRE FEET.
6 MILLION GALLONS!!!!! THAT IS “USING “NOT THAT MUCH WATER”?????
ANOTHER FACT: WATER WEIGHS 8# PER GALLON===52,136,160 # OF WATER-——CAN THEIR STRUCTURES HOLD THAT MUCH WEIGHT OF WATER??? A NEW 747 WEIGHS ABOUT 480,000#.
THE NEXT UNTOLD ITEM IS: THAT WATER GETS CHEMICALS ADDED SO THE PIPES DO NOT FALTER=== WHEN THAT WATER GETS “REPLACED” ==THE CHEMICALLY TREATED WATER GOES BACK INTO THE AQUIFER”.
SOUNDS TO ME LIKE THEY WILL TAKE OUR WATER & THEN THE CHEMICALS WILL DAMAGE THE WATER FOR FUTURE USE. CHEMICALS THAT CANNOT BE REMOVED FROM THE WATER WE ARE TOLD.
THIS IS A PATHWAY TO TOTAL RUIN.
THAT MEANS THAT EVERY SINGLE ONE OF OUR PRIVATE WELLS ARE FACING A DRAW DOWN BY THE DATA CENTERS THAT WILL DRY UP OUR WELLS. DRILLING DEEPER WILL COST THOUSANDS OF DOLLARS & THE BACK UP OF DRILLING WILL TAKE WEEKS. NONE OF US CAN GO ANY TIME PERIOD WITHOUT WATER.
WE CANNOT LEGALLY LIVE ON PARCELS THAT HAVE NO WATER ..... INSTANTLY PUTTING US INTO POSITION OF HOMELESSNESS & THE VALUE OF OUR PROPERTIES ==ZERO. MOST OF THE RESIDENT HERE ARE RETIRED & LIVING ON SOCIAL SECURITY. WE ARE NOT IN POSITION TO DRILL DEEPER, ETC. EVEN IF WE COULD-—DATA CENTERS WOULD CONTINUE TO USE MORE WATER & EVENTUALLY, WE WOULD HAVE DRY WELLS AGAIN. WE FACE TOTAL ECONOMIC RUIN-—AT THE BENEFIT OF DATA CENTERS....OVER 5,000 LIVE IN THIS VALLEY ALONE.
WATER IS THE ISSUE-—ANYTHING ELSE IS A TOTAL LIE.
WE HAD NO DATA CENTERS 5 YEARS AGO
NOW—OVER 5,000 OPEN & 3,000 MORE PLANNED.
HOW DID WE “EXIST” BEFORE?????????????
