Ellendale is in operation and uses closed loop liquid cooling system (not straight water).
Ellendale does have a closed loop system. But has holding ponds, for when they do maintenance on the systems. There are lots of golf courses that use 3 and 4 times the water and know one says anything about them. Look how many golf courses there are and look at the amount of water they go thru.

Something to think about, that most people never think of.

Don’t let trump know about all the water he wastes at his golf courses.

Not hard to seem half-ass amazing when you follow the two worst in history, a race-baiting terrorist and ancient archaic demented old clown..
When Trump walks away from the war in Iran having accomplished no goals, AND costing Americans more than $1 Trillion (with a “T”), AND leaving Iran in charge of the straight of Hormuz, AND compensating Iran with $300 Billion (with a “B”), AND killing and injuring scores of American service members, it will go down in history as the single biggest failure in the entire history of the United States of America by any President.

PFFFT!! Not even close. The Afghanistan war that lasted 20 years cost "officially" about 2800 us troopers and ended up doing nothing but arming the enemy with us weapons takes a higher spot. However, I have to say that the vietnam cluster takes top spot when discussing worthless wastes of everything and accomplishing exactly nothing of benefit. Just my opinion though. However, this should be a different thread.

Detention pods are in no way being used for circulated cooling water. The purity requirements for liquid running over those boards are more stringent than municipal drinking water standards.

I was told this by a pipefitter that worked down there for two yrs. I trust what he said. I see other data centers have retention ponds.

I can see them not using the detention pods like you said.

I don't watch Fox news. All of the main stream media is owned and controlled by the Zionist cabal. It's all propaganda.
Scholars, civil rights organizations, and watchdogs classify these claims as hate speech dog whistles rather than legitimate political critique. [1, 2, 3]

Hate to burst some people's bubble here, but the county commissioners have to follow the law. Not wanting a data center near your home is not enough, it's kind of like not wanting people of other races or religions on your block. As long as they follow the law, there isn't much you can do to prevent it.

So, go to the meetings, express your displeasure with them coming in, but realize we live in a country of laws. I know being the Devil's advocate here is probably not welcome, but when you want to install that feedlot or other undesirable at your place, you will thank the laws for being on your side.

And yes, I've been on the same side as you all when it came to a combined gravel pit and asphalt plant some Dickinson company wanted to put on the neighbor's side of the fence a few years ago. It made my parent's place borderline unlivable. It's no longer in operation, but we showed up and complained about their getting a permit, the county only said to report violations (air quality from both dust and asphalt fumes). I believe it was actually the neighbor, who after seeing the problem himself refused to allow the company to occupy the site in subsequent years.
in regards to Oliver county they had to change the zoning from I believe Ag to Industrial. They could have postponed their approval until a impact study was completed for the proposed data center.

Some of us dont need Scholars, civil rights organizations and watchdogs to tell us what is and isn't approved legitimate political critique.

So you agree. I knew there was at least one other smart guy here.

The no NDA's would be a good start but if there is some kind of secret compensation being given to the elected officials to grease the skids they get the same results as a NDA. An elected official that signs an NDA about official city or state business, I don't get how thats even legal.
