Only about half of the data centre decision-makers surveyed said they were holding public forums or investing in local initiatives, while recent national polling shows that only 33% of developers are addressing grid reliability, and only 29% are responding to water consumption concerns. The report authors suggest “a disconnect between engagement efforts and community priorities.” You’d think data centre developers would pay attention to communities…but, no. I guess at least $64 billion, 18 state bills and 86 local moratoriums proposed across the U.S. isn’t enough to convince them? #ableg #cdnpoli #emissions #electricitygrid #AIdatacentres #AIDataCenters #WonderValleyAlberta #wondervalleyUtah #stratos https://open.substack.com/pub/jodymacpherson/p/community-pushback-blocks-64b-in

The MD of Greenview council, which would be the location of Kevin O'Leary's Wonder Valley, just deferred second reading of a new Disclosure Bylaw. No timeline for the bylaw to come back to council was decided. The vote was 9 in favour of deferral and one opposed. The purpose of the bylaw is "to establish a formal and consistent process requiring Councillors to disclose certain personal, financial, and organizational interests that may reasonably be perceived to influence their decision making. A disclosure bylaw sets out what information must be declared, when disclosures must be submitted, how they are updated, and how they are maintained by the municipality. Its primary purpose is to support transparency, manage potential conflict of interest, and strengthen public confidence in local governance." https://pub-mdgreenview.escribemeetings.com/FileStream.ashx?DocumentId=6780 #ableg #abpoli #cdnpoli #transparency #WonderValleyAlberta #democracy #AIDataCentres /more
