Why would the data center operators pay extra taxes to your city when they can just build them somewhere else that gives them a tax break instead?

- rkangel 2mo agoBut that's the right lever! That gives the local voting population the ability to decide how much they're willing to put up with data centres. And a state that has excess water and electricity can have tax breaks and then that's where more data centres go.
- happytoexplain 2mo agoI don't understand what you're trying to say - you're describing a win-win. Pay the citizens the price, or don't burden them in the first place. There are two options, and the data center builders may pick either.
