Get mad at power plants not producing more power then
> They have a right, if not an obligation, to be concerned about water consumption and pollution, especially in an already drought stricken area, near a drying, poisonous lake.
Same
> They have a pretty good reason to be upset about adding an extreme amount of heat and CO2 in an area where the tourism for skiing and snowboarding plays a huge role in tourism for the nearby counties, despite lowest snowpacks on record year over year.
How do they add heat and co2? Just produce more clean energy lol
> Also as a citizen, I would be furious is my elected officials ignored the locals in favor of 2 other officials' pressure and opinions.
Why should locals have any say whether I buy some land and build a building that houses computers in it? I'd prefer officials ignore local's opinions as much as possible, we'd have more housing and cheaper compute by now
