@Mazzella21@CharlieBHarper@AOC Data center is a hot topic right now which is why she used Meta's proximity as a reference. What she is trying to get across is that local environmental impact needs to be taken into account for any large projects such as these.
@CharlieBHarper@Mazzella21@AOC Also, you are where? Marietta? How do you claim to know more about the groundwater situation 10 miles from me than I do?
@CharlieBHarper@Mazzella21 What I am trying to point out is that in your original quote about what @AOC said, you said "Georgian here. No. Not it does not." as if to say "fake news" about the discolored water. You were denying the water being discolored, not the source of the discoloration.
@Mazzella21@CharlieBHarper I am not trying to say building a data center is the cause of the water problems. What I am saying is clearing such a large plot of land for a data center, or car manuf plant like Rivian causes problems. Especially if the land is a ground water recharge area like where Rivian is.
@Mazzella21@CharlieBHarper The Rivian site is right beside the Meta data center. Both are on 278. The data center is technically in Newton county I think.
@CharlieBHarper The Rivian site is right beside the Meta data center. Clearing such large plots of land in a groundwater recharge area has consequences.
@EWErickson This references the Rivian site, which is right by the Meta data center. That entire area is a known groundwater recharge area, and it is one of the many reasons residents fought back against the Rivian site.
@EWErickson Site is paywalled, but this is from the local Morgan County paper from 2024. Morgan county is rural, and the vast majority of residents rely on well water. Stop gaslighting and calling things fake which you have no knowledge of.

@SeminoleMafia@RedRedWineDawg The ceusus? Seriously? You realize the census is done every 10 years, meaning the current data is based on 2020. A simple Google search on current data shows this: Middle- and Low-Income Earners: People in the bottom 40% of earners make up the bulk of departures.
