Here is the part underneath the whole argument: you cannot prove OR disprove public benefit, because the numbers are sealed. Actual power draw, water withdrawal, the real jobs figure, the tax terms — all commercial-in-confidence. You are debating the contents of a box the company has locked. "Restrict unless they prove benefit" is, at its core, just "make them open the box." That should be the least controversial thing in this thread.

SUMMARY

No summary yet.

For（1）

This is the strongest version of the resolution and I wish it led the thread. A few states now require disclosure of data-center water and energy use as a permit condition, and — notably — the good operators comply without drama, because they have nothing to hide. The ones fighting disclosure hardest are telling you which they are. The ask isn't a ban. It's a receipt.
