A year after stopgap measures went into place, county looks at new restrictions on data centers. Plus, accused kidnapper arrested five hours after baby went missing. Beckwith’s swipe at Purdue. More.
I saw a presentation by Tom Murtaugh on Wednesday morning and part of it was about these data centers. I’m very happy to hear that the county will require data centers to use sustainable energy sources and closed loop water cooling. These are not future technologies. They are current and many big data centers worldwide, including Amazon, are using them. I’m glad to see the county taking the right steps to not give a hard no to data centers, but instead to make them be good neighbors.
If they want to make it even more untenable--make the renewable energy they have to source have to come from within the boundaries of Tippecanoe County.
Sorry, should be clearer. Sourcing ALL their electricity from renewables within the boundaries of Tippecanoe county. And Tom, yes solar on the roof of the data center building is good but it will probably be only a small fraction of the energy needs they ultimately need.
Possibly the most depressing thing about Indiana is that 1.5 million people voluntarily voted for Micah Beckwith. Our state's Christians have a lot to learn about Christ.
I just wish Indiana voters would demonstrate an ounce of self-respect. Are you conservative? Then why are you voting for the likes of Beckwith and Rokita, who quite clearly are not? If we're going to be a one-party state it'd be nice if the voters would at least have some standards of character and principle. But, they don't. Beckwith and Rokita are reflective of the electorate, and what the electorate apparently wants is entitled elitists who are unemployable in the private sector and like fancy state-purchased SUVs and drivers and think that government should be wielded as a weapon against people they don't like, in service of their own power and ego.
If you answer yes to your first question, policy does not matter. If you answer no, as I do, you probably want to discuss and vote on policy choices. While I completely agree with you, what I find so frustrating about this place is that basically the book is closed on issues that matter to me (choice, immigration, guns, democracy). If a flim-flam man is suceeding, that sucks, but I'm losing hope. Which is WHY the FFM suceeds, his supporters draw nourishment from "liberal tears" even if objective reality is defied. Rat bastards.
Your observations are premature. The cameras are precisely the tool we need to successfully navigate kidnapping cases. It’s never just “one” tip, one “tool,” or one person. These cases are complex and require all available resources to successfully navigate them.
It’s okay to be skeptical, but don’t be dogmatic. Being practical is the key.
Since you are advocating that we all give up privacy, let's start with politicians. I'd like a report on their everywhere they travel, along with their spouses, family and friends. Surely they have nothing to hide.

Maybe. I don’t really know the energy needs. Do you?
Well for instance, Microsoft is restarting a unit at Three Mile Island...
I did a little research and energy needs vary by the size of the data center, of course. On average, a data center requires 100 continuous megawatts.
That would be great, but given the county's pushback on solar farms in the county, it seems this may be a large hurdle.
I believe that may be part of the requirements. This type of large data center could have solar panels on the roof.

I wonder if Braun was one of them. The normies were creeped out by Beckwith, back when we had normies.

Nice to see it was an observant bus rider that helped solve the kidnapping and surveillance cameras weren’t needed.

Why? What purpose would that serve?
They shouldn't have anything to worry about, unless they have things to hide.
The examples that Micah Beckwith put forth as being something terrible, are things that I'm proud to associate with Purdue.
Micah Beckwith is one of those "Christians" who uses his religious beliefs for hate. What a horrid person.
