Project Blue is a mistake for 大象APPand a net loss for our environment. No, we cannot create more water and the promise that this center will be 鈥渨ater-positive鈥 is misleading. Destroying our climate for the sake of economic development is a tired exercise. Reclaimed water is still water that can be used. The city is investing $86.7M to build a plant that will turn 2.5 million gallons of wastewater into drinkable water a day. This data center could use up to 5 million gallons per day. Do the math 鈥 we simply don鈥檛 have the water to spare. Bottom line: Mayor & Council need to vote no on this project. 2-3 years of potable water usage should be enough for everyone to be an emphatic no on this project. Call your Council Members and urge them to vote no before it鈥檚 too late.
