Data center drama hits rural Arcadia, Florida where DCIP Group is pushing a massive hyperscale data center on a decommissioned power plant in DeSoto County promising $26M/yr in taxes & a new jail.
Locals are fighting back over endless 24/7 noise (like xAI's Mississippi hum), natural gas pollution, water use & health risks near a high school. Commissioners already rezoned 34 acres amid the backlash. National data center explosion lands in quiet ranch country. Change vs. character? Investors promise closed loop cooling.
The story in this week's @bocabeacon from a guest story from Suncoast Searchlight reporter Alice Herman.

It doesn’t matter if Palantir eliminates all crime.
We don’t want to live in a dystopian surveillance state.
When Patrick Henry said ‘Give me liberty or give me death,’ he wasn’t just talking about the British.
He was talking about all tyrants. Foreign or domestic.
Gov. DeSantis calls out Byron Donalds,
“You got a guy like Byron, he hasn’t been a part of any victories that we’ve had here over the Left. He just hasn’t.”
On February 1st, I went to Fort Meade to speak out against the disastrous data center. I am the only candidate running who would sign into law a full ban on data centers statewide.
Hey @ByronDonalds: we missed you at the FLCA Governors Forum last night in Naples.
250+ voters, 2 great moderators, and audience questions.
Good to share the stage with my friend, Speaker @Paul_Renner.
Open conversation. No moderator. You'd each have time to make points and time to respond to one another.
Randi, the American people deserve an open, honest debate on the state of education. The stakes have never been higher.
Every turning point of progress in our history has been
marked by open debate. Without it, ideas remain untested, society stagnates, and people suffer.
It's no coincidence that the massive policy failures of the past few years (lockdowns, school closure, forced masking, etc) occurred at time when debate was thwarted by the powers that be.
Open debate is the lifeblood of America. Citizens demand it, our nation depends on it, and the path to truth runs through it.
We can't fix our problems if we can't talk about them. @IncubateDebate stands ready to facilitate this important debate.
Make Debate Great Again.
