@thewokeginger: Festus, Missouri residents are now trying to recall their mayor and council members after backlash over a controversial AI data center project. The push comes after voters already ousted several incumbents connected to the deal earlier this year. Communities across the country are increasingly pushing back on massive AI infrastructure projects over concerns about energy, water, environmental impact, and corporate influence. #Missouri #AI #DataCenters #Missouri #festus

Thanks for the info, but Festus isn’t small or rural. Suburb of St. Louis.

if you look at the St Louis Metro as a whole which includes Metro East, Festus would be considered part of St Louis Metro as a far south suburb even though it is located in a different county so it is definitely part of the St Louis Metro just like Arnold.

I live here and I didn't think I'd ever see Festus get mentioned this much on social media in my whole life 😭

Shouldn’t that be something that the people vote on whether they want a data center in their area

Festus is kinda an xurb of St Louis. This is why it's getting a decent amount of press. If they tried to do it near Hannibal I doubt it would get as much media.

Doesn’t the high usage of electricity have a tendency to have lighting striking the source?

They might not be able to stop it, but they can mitigate the poor outcomes, plus make it expensive. Permits will be needed!!!!
