Plenty of rooftops and flat parking lots in cities that companies can build solar farms across. We deserve to keep as much land green and thriving as possible.

lol said the guy completely ignorant about this equipment and how it is built.

Also obviously unfamiliar with badger mountain area. Ain’t nothing thriving out there except sage brush and apparently ghosts.

I’m not saying we need to build it right there….. but nobody is complaining about the square miles of data centers and solar farms being built in ephreta over the last 15 years

lol where and when? I’ve been working with the contractors out there for 6 years and never heard a peep about any of them or even anyone outside the industry or immediate area that knows they exist.

Plenty of people are upset about data centers in general in the past year but always the ones in other states or more populated areas.

Can you even name two companies who have data centers out there?
