kick the ball down the road on the gas taxes? Protect Republican seats in the General Assembly. Make cuts to various social programs. Get money from roadbuilding and repairs from other segments of the Indiana 'surplus". Continue acting like the hero on the side of the deluded masses. What war? What costs us drivers? Nothng to see here. Sleep Sleep ."Ain'g God Good to Indiana?"
Meanwhile 13 of 16 U.S.bases in Middle East significantly damaged by "beaten" Iran. Questionable casualty reports finally revised to show 624 wounded. Where were these persons wounded? Downed aircraft? hardly Damaged ships? No? Try the military bases. Wht about conditions on U.S. Carrier Abraham Lincoln? Just a
bunch of cry-baby sailors complaining about lack of soap and mouldy showers.?
Tom Murtagh is right. Anyone remember House Enrolled Act 1412? The state legislation that explicitly stripped Tippecanoe County of the power to ban retail dog sales? You think data centers might have more grifter friends in high places than puppy mills?
It's fine to play regulatory chess, but not with an opponent who keeps eating the pieces.
That mental image gave me a chuckle. Tom Murtaugh carefully moving a knight. Mike Braun staring him down over the board while shoving a rook and a pawn into his mouth.
"“What makes me nervous about a complete ban, is that as counties do that, it’s very likely the state will remove the ability for that decision to be made at the local level,” Murtaugh said." Yet another reason for us to vote for DIFFERENT LEADERSHIP at the state house.
Good strategy on the part of the APC; proposing strict regulations rather than outright bans on data centers. We’ve already seen the effects of state preemption when it comes to regulating how localities deal with other issues.
For example, state overriding local ordinances preventing pet shops from selling dogs & cats, and local prohibition of short term rentals (aka AirBnb) in certain zoning areas.
How would any data centers possibly locate here when SK Hynix will already be hogging all the available water, sucking millions of gallons a day out of the Wabash with NO closed loop system required, and with electrical prices skyrocketing as we all are forced to pay for the expensive upgrades Hynix requires? Doesn’t seem likely.
SK Hynix is far worse than a data center. Chip factories are all the same horrible downsides, with way more toxic pollution and associated chemical vendors coming along with them, plus far more dangerous for their workers and residents.
But sure… NOW we suddenly care about closed loop systems and residential setbacks. This town is just embarrassing sometimes, I swear.
Dave reported that Indiana American Water was preparing for SK Hynix using 2.8 million gallons per day. During the LEAP pipeline discussions, Evonik was listed as using 5.6 million gallons per day.
I think I’m looking at a similar report from the LEAP era (2023) and it shows Indiana American Water’s entire customer base in West Lafayette was only using 4.4 million gallons. So adding almost 3 million in capacity just to serve one company (at everyone else’s expense mind you) seems pretty outrageous to me. The drainage on this side of town is already a big issue, and anytime we get heavy rains or snowmelt that overloads the system, everything gets dumped untreated straight into the Wabash to avoid flooding. It happens surprisingly often.
I don’t know as much about Evonik, but I do know they just announced a $100mil expansion project this year, so that may affect their water usage. Something else to watch.

The Rs have a wholly undeserved reputation for supporting the military. How to end that, short of summoning the ghost of Eisenhower?

The governor has strong frog vibes, probably just shot out his tongue.

(YES)^yes !!

Is that outdated or incorrect information?
