Yeah, it's interesting to hear that there's more of a split inside this community.
It's kind of been dealing with these data centers for a couple of decades now.
Through your reporting, have you seen any other communities that are as split on this, or are they more one-sided in all the other developing communities that are putting these measures forward to develop data centers?
Do you think these other counties are pretty well positioned now and have used Loudoun County as a test bed, or are they just kind of still throwing things at the wall and just trying to do what's best for their constituents?
Yeah, it feels to me that a lot of people online at least are also frustrated because there's these products that are being developed that they're told that they are going to have to use if they're gonna exist in the future.
No a lot of people just don't want to use these products, but it feels like they're impacting their communities significantly anyway, right?
Would you say that that is the reason that most people seem anti data?
center or is it because more of the power usage, more of the water usage type things?
Does it seem like this is gonna spread out to just nearby counties instead?
Do you think that Loudoun has hit the capacity point where the the county says we've had enough and we want you to put these elsewhere?
And do you feel like most of these other communities have started to figure out these things and like the a way to do it kind of where it pleases everybody and doesn't make everyone super pissed off?
