Yes, we NEED to stop subsidizing these data centers. They employ very few longterm employees and they use a TON of power, putting stress on utilities whose burdens nearly always get shifted to everyday consumers. Subsidizing then is bad business.
We need more nuclear energy in Indiana. Small modular reactors could fulfill this need. It would potentially help reinforce the grid with reliable energy compared to the unreliable wind and solar we seem so interested in subsidizing.
We need to stop subsidizing Wind and Solar. They’re too unreliable for the 21st century.
+1
As long as they build them all in the north east corner of the state, so when one of them has a problem, Indianapolis is down wind of them.
Going after data centers was the idea of state leaders that really didn’t understand that they result in little employment after they ‘re built. It really wasn’t smart, but the big names sure looked good in the press for politicians and economic development folks. Infosys anyone?
Infosys is not a data center. Theoretically, a generic company with a similar profile to Infosys would’ve been great for Indy. The problem is that giving foreign companies $$$$$$ in economic development subsidies tends to fail more often than giving analogous subsidies to analogous domestic companies.
I know Infosys is not a data center. It’s just another example of “big deal” rolled out to the public that ends up not being a “big deal” at all.
Moratoriums just give the lobbyists more time to secure an even worse deal for the State. We just don’t need these data centers here.
I don’t think the real issue is whether or not these facilities are built, or do we need them. We probably don’t NEED lots of industrial projects. But they do attract employment, and other industries we might want to bring their facilities and jobs to Indiana.
The issue is who pays for all of this power generation. And should this be tax subsidized. Tax subsidies are a rathole down which political types like to race. We don’t need a tax subsidized sports stadium, but we get them.
Legislators need to insure citizens and “normal” industrial and commercial entities are subsidizing these efforts. The power companies and their shareholders should take on the burden, as they are the ones who will reap the potential profits.
Data centers practically run themselves, thus why they’re really not worth it. They use a ton of electricity and don’t help stimulate the local economy very much.
These Data Centers are part of “the cloud”, and it makes almost no difference where they are located.
Would like to see subsides for Data Centers removed. doesn’t make sense that they get 50 years of tax subs when they don’t provide long term employment and strain the energy grid. where do we benefit having these massive data center parks? Another prime example that the IEDC needs more oversight and limitations.
Sounds like we all agree that this is not a necessity for our state nor an efficient use of taxpayer money to promote and subsidize these ventures. I wonder if all of the legislators we vote for know our concerns?
Legislators only care about the concerns of the public when the public removes them from elected office for ignoring their concerns.
Since we have an electorate that cares only about wedge issues and they’ve been gerrymandered into irrelevance, it leaves legislators free to focus all their time and energy on those sweet, sweet campaign contributions from lobbyists.
