The data center pause is just one more campaign prop in JB’s enthrall to the progressives he believes will propel him to 1600 PA Avenue all while he punishes our economic growth- Don’t often agree with the AFL- CIO but even they think JB is pummeling job growth

When something is important to J.B., the effort he spends on it makes his priority apparent.

When he doesn’t spend the effort, it’s equally clear how important it is to him.

Thanks to all for your kind words and to everyone else who texted, emailed, called and sent cards and letters.

I was asked to deliver the eulogy at my mom’s funeral. I began with this comment from Dotnonymous x:

“Your Mom lives on… in the best part of you, Rich.”

He said the Data Center Coalition suggested language to amend the Illinois Water Use Act of 1983 and require all large water users to report their usage.

So…..reporting the water usage has what to do with how much your data center is going to consume..?

Don’t see how this is any kind of concession/guardrail for the communities where they want to build, and draw water from.

As AI grows and evolves and quantum becomes a reality, the need for more data centers is going to grow but they need to come to find some common ground with the NIMBY horde soon. Affordable housing has the same problem. This needs to get done and part of the delay on this and other issues seems to go back to the House and Senate rarely being in session at the same time this year.
