Not that difficult. “Pay up or GTFO” scrawled on a napkin and given to google, amazon, and Microsoft seems like it would be pretty easy to manage.

Chris Miller, with the Piedmont Environmental Council, which works to preserve Virginia’s countryside, said the election’s results made it clear that lawmakers need to “take a hard look” at the impact of data center development.

It would be terrible for Virginians.

“We need to make sure communities are on board and that we can power this industry in a way that’s good for Virginians,” said Nate Benforado, the senior attorney. “If we aren’t proactive, and let utilities go all-in on a risky gas buildout, energy bills will skyrocket, air pollution will increase, and our communities will be put in harm’s way—all for an industry that could be in the middle of a market bubble

not difficult close it down lol. they dont do anything but drain taxpayers money, and pollute the surrounding land.

Can't quit get my head around local politicians allowing the construction of these monster DCs in their backyards. Sure, they're bribed, I get that bit. But fat lot of good that does when they get voted out. Never heard of any community welcoming these things. They good for temporary construction work, but most of that is coming from elsewhere. Toad Suck Arkansas (real place) doesn't likely have many unemployed DC experts on hand. And I doubt they have much in the way of local talent to staff the place after it's built.
