You sound like a member of the RINO defense club. If you believe govt won’t stick American taxpayers to help foot the bills of corporate America, you are sadly mistaken. Data centers will serve no good use to society. People like you want uncontrolled development at the cost of our contentment and peace. The SC legislature won’t be happy until they have “developed” all of SC into a cesspool of overcrowded people, roads and industry. Prosperity for all, right?

Hi Jenn! I researched your background which says you grew up in New York State. Have you ever been to South Carolina? If you have then you should know that we have some of the most beautiful outdoor places and we’d like to keep them that way. That means NO NEW DATA CENTERS! These data centers will only pollute our fresh water streams and acquirers, create noise pollution and destroy our rural communities. All for what? A handful of new jobs?

While the investor owned power companies will profit by building more gas plants, our ratepayers will have to pay more for electricity! Why? All because of corporate greed. AI companies want more profits at our expense. We will NOT be well served here in Beautiful South Carolina by giving these AI billionaires more tax breaks that will have to be paid by our citizens while these robber barrons cut up our rural communities.

You can keep your new data centers in New York! Please leave us alone! We will be just fine
without your greedy corporate buddies trying to make more money at our expense!

Looks like another Trumpian golddigger bimbo, to me. Thanks but no thanks! Trump has lied about just about everything he opens his yap for. Why should we trust him with something like this?
I sure as hell do not. We neither want nor need a data center in South Carolina. If you think our electric rates in SC are terrible now, wait until they get one or more of these travesties going here. We do not need the added water consumtion and pollution, nor the noise these things generate.

Build it in your own back yard.
