There was no indication that things will be somehow repaired. The video stated that the data center consumes 10% of the whole county water need. Here is another video for you: https://youtu.be/DGjj7wDYaiI . Locals are experiencing higher rates of electricity, almost double because of the data centres. And this is ongoing. I don't think these power companies will rollback rates any time soon.
I was trying to remember where I'd heard of "More Perfect Union" and then I realized they were the outfit Andy Masley specifically called out for misleading people on AI data center use a few months ago: https://andymasley.substack.com/p/more-perfect-union-is-dece...
Do you find his writing there unconvincing?
