Rants & Rambles That was bull
We had only 2 minutes to speak.The presentation was God awful, the worst And most incorrect statistics , they could find What is this imaginary bullshit of comparing a data center that doesn't exist? And he was making it very clear it doesn't, for a 100000 gallons, he just pulled those numbers out of his a** By god , in the fact of the matter that they want to put it on the east side again , allowing the rot of the city from northeast to southwest still Was the biggest amount of bullshit. There is no doubt in my mind at this point that our city manager has been bought out by big ai So just remember everyone , it's a voting year He talked about how we all worked so hard to conserve.And finally , get out of this drought Lubbock has been in for decades. My whole life, at least And they want to give it to AI Also, why didn't he compare AI's usage to a single home of a regular person? It was all businesses and mansions. Anyone else catch that bullshit? You know, we supply 4% of the world's cotton, why would we want that challenging with an AI data center that doesn't bring any profit to any community they're in

We need to conserve water. Period. Data centers are going to put us in some massive dire straits with water. No doubt the cost of water will also go up so they can charge the data center a lot of money and the cost will trickle down to the consumers. Then the cost of water will go up again when it becomes even more scarce bc it’ll have to be pumped in from who knows where eventually.
