Petition Against Data Centers & For Public Accountability

Gail Rieg

Power and water resources belong to the locals. Not corporations. Data centers do not create employment opportunities only use valuable resources.

Craig Shreve

These corporations need to be stopped. There is no benefit for the community that is worth the cost of operating these centers.

Laurence A Colucci

I'm calling for a moritorium against building or expanding data centers until there are contracted safeguards to protect residents and small businesses against paying for any of the costs of building and maintaining. These companies need be mandated and monitored to pay theese costs and the costs associated with the demand for electricity and water. Also there need to be science based techniques mandated to protect the environment.

The water, electricity, and land area consumed by data centers can limit these resources needed for future businesses that benefit local people. Artificial intelligence can influence critical thinking skills by making information easy to find and questionable to believe.

I have a number of concerns about the level of environmental, public-health, infrastructure, and economic oversight surrounding this facility. Because the site is already built, fully operational, and continuing to expand, I think it’s important to understand what safeguards, monitoring, approvals, and long-term planning are actually in place to protect the community as that growth continues.

We know that the crypto/paper mill project is shifting to a data center. Please do not allow them more electricity, water, or other perks like tax relief that they may seek in this sneaky transition.

Cynthia Reinhardt

We do NOT want data centers where we live!

Iliana Reinhardt

We need transparency and community engagement when it comes to industries that want do business here. Too much is happening behind closed doors and with little to no consent. Our officials serve the people, not industry representatives!

Anne James

Data centers ruin the environment, utilize too much water, developers of them are run by corporations having no regard for the environment. Data centers use inordinate amounts of electricity, increasing the cost to individual consumers. They run constantly making noise. They disturb wildlife and adversely affect their migration patterns. If the water that data centers consume is dumped back into the river, it will be too hot, hurting fish - especially species protected species. No Data Centers!

Marly Krause

Totally against ruining our lands

Andrew Feldman

The only data centers we should support are public libraries.

Gene Maughan

We don’t need more data

Supporter

We need to understand this industry its environmental and operational impacts across not just our community but our nation.
