I am a hard no on Project Blue and will not support the requested annexation. Valid and vocal concerns have been raised about large water usage, large energy consumption, and the negative impacts to air quality. Concerns that have all been well documented across the country in places where data centers were built and are now causing problems. I just can’t buy the line “water positive” as the project boosters refer to it. I have spent my career protecting the environment we all live in. Any project that touts “economic gain” while potentially threatening our invaluable water supply, the air we breathe, or that exacerbates climate change should be rejected. Data centers do not belong in the Sonoran Desert. Period.
