Better Water

Data Centers are coming for us, okay? That’s a fact. Much of the world is entering water bankruptcy, and we’re the land of 10,000 lakes, so it’s not hard to figure out why they’re interested in Minnesota… but it’s not like these projects are really boosting the economy. These are industrial projects and we need to treat them as such. What really angers me is when these companies dodge accountability by creating shadow corporations just to sneak these projects into our backyards. We really need to start banning this now before it becomes a bigger problem. If we don’t leverage this critical moment to enshrine protections and cleanup procedures into the law, it may never come. That’s how we ended up with a massive landfill dump that nobody knows what to do with. If I’m in office, I’m making it the state’s job to ensure a level playing field. Individual cities and towns shouldn’t have to foot a cleanup bill 20 or 30 years from now because they got suckered into a bad deal with a data center. That’s how we can protect our water.
