The growth limiting factor in this region is water. Data centers use enormous amounts of water, which will impact the city profoundly in the coming years. If the city insists on doing a study, the impact on water availability for anything else should be scrutinized thoroughly.
Might we also ask why MWU maintains a fossil fuel generating plant right in the middle of the city to provide its electricity? It burns natural gas I am told, but keeps diesel oil on hand if needed. We all need to change if we are to do our duty to save our climate.
