There's a mul multiple races right now.

For example, one in Kansas where um they're the where where the steam fitters unions and the different uh workers unions are actually aligning on the pro data center side of things because

There's so many jobs created and there's so many big deals that are created from these data centers.

Sure.

That a lot of the labor unions are actually on the side of pro data center now.

Oh weird.

And so so you look at look this up.

Look up there's a there's a Kansas City um I think it's um a gubernatorial candidate um who's uh uh um or a Kansas gu governor candidate and um

There's the steam the steam fitters union is is basically on the side of pro data center building.

And so actually I think that it's it's maybe a little bit all backwards sometimes from what people have been positioning because you know you've been hearing the media, oh, this is a this is a bipartisan, anti-data center movement.

No, no, no.

I think there's a lot of folks on both sides of it um who, you know, are are are are are being supportive.

I think that you're gonna see the the the volume knob turned down after elections and then finally

I think it's healthy debate and communities should

have a decision about who they want to work with and that data center providers should be doing their best to not be influencing rates any direction other than bringing rates down for everybody.

and being a good uh member of the community.

Pay your taxes.

participate in building an ecosystem of of businesses around you and uh uh you know continue to make great high-paying jobs.

What do

There's miscalculations and and also just misunderstanding of what is the total water consumption of things.
