I’d prefer we don’t datacenter to the gills, but if we’re destined to do it anyway, they should offer free Heat/data services to the communities they’re thrust upon, and the agreement should be on the datacenter licensing so they can’t reorg out of it.
And not just tax their cooked books. Ohh we didn’t make anything because we sold all that service to out shell company for pennies on the dollar. Tax their expected income based on their power/water utilization.
Hell, I’d be satisfied if they just paid their own way. Pay for the system upgrades for power and water, pay full rate for power and water consumption, pay for any other infrastructure upgrades needed and pay normal property tax on your multi-billion dollar facility.
yeah we have some local ones going it, they did a robocall to find out what would make people feel better about it.
How would you feel if they setup a green solution to recycle their water?
How would you feel if they increased jobs in the area?
How would you feel if they paid for their own electricity and water?
Like fuck you guys, how about you setup enough solar to offset your power needs all together AND recycle your water. oddly that selection was missing from the IVR tree.
