The pair turned down the deal because they believe the data center would affect everyone in the community, adding that the developer’s continued pressure to sell has only hardened their determination not to give up even a single acre.

They said the secrecy surrounding the project — particularly the company’s refusal to reveal its identity — has only fueled their determination to keep their land.

Tech giants are swarming around rural cities to build their data centers.

I love this, they turned down making 22 million in profit. That amount of money would be hard to turn down, but I wouldn’t want to contribute to the building of the beast system. I bet they will find a way to take her land.

I wonder if they're pre-Trib Christians

Or someone else in the area will sell out.

The amount of money that's being spent on data centers is staggering and the amount of money to run them is substantial. I guess we'll all be paying the bill one way or another.

Good for them!

And the electricity they demand is horrendous. Areas with these data centres have power difficulties I've read.

And they're something mankind doesn't really even need.

No, but the soon coming Beast system will likely utilize them.

And they require horrific amounts of water.

And they generate huge amounts of greenhouse gases, particularly methane, and if they don't have a closed loop system, they discharge massive amounts of heated, polluted water into the local environment.

This is terrible for the environment: air, water, plants, crops, animals, food, PEOPLE . . .

Where are the environmentalist whackos and eco-terrorists when you need them?

Maybe someone needs to find a spotted thus-and-such or striped so-and-so or that's endangered because of the data centers . . .

Better if it, or its young, is really cute (you know, for raising awareness, empathy, and MONEY . . .
