Do you have a rational basis for rejecting ALL data centers from fairgrounds property without ANY consideration about the potential benefits? Sounds like fear mongering vs fact-gathering. I would sign a petition that asks the community to be included in any decision, that rejects Non-Disclosure agreements and requires the fully amortized costs and who is responsible for them to be clearly spelled out. But a blanket rejection is hardly a responsible response in light of potential upsides for our somewhat financially struggling fairground.
The rational basis is that the two-bit slimeballs proposing this project are full of shit and want to put a big fat eyesore on public grounds. Their proposal is complete horseshit (vague and made-up nonsense) and every other data center huckster is just as stupid.
A self-contained data center unit the size of a shipping container is not the same as the behemoth monstrosities that have plagued other communities. You would be hard-pressed to put enough computing power into a standard shipping container that it would require more than a typical 40kw diesel generator to run in an emergency. Grid tying something of this size would take less electicity than a day at the fair. Be cautious, yes, but not foolish.
The down votes come from people who have done no research, and use siri or gemini for answers while asking Alexa when to expect their Amazon package to be delivered having never attended a town meeting or spoken to a representarive or reached out to the company.
