A different location (west of St. Louis), is also fighting these data center builds. In spite of NDAs,, it was revealed that it is Amazon and Google pushing for these.

This location is a horrible choice. There is no major river close by.

Criminal.

The four council members who supported the development were ousted by four candidates who each ran on pro-transparency and anti-data center platforms. The council has a total of eight members."

But when Presidents like Fascist Jesus set such a bad example how can mere mortals withstand such divine leadership alone???
