its mostly about environmental concerns, but data centres dont add nearly the amount of jobs that manufacturing had

So add 0 jobs because people don’t like chatgpt and it won’t create the same amount as 1960’s manufacturing; or add some jobs to rural WI?

You only have to look at Hermiston/Umatilla OR to see how impactful data centers can be on rural communities. There’s a lot more than 40 new jobs there since Amazon started building data centers.

If the people don't want it then we should just ignore them, sign a NDA and put it there anyways?
