What is the big deal with data centers or whatever? How can they give off pollution? I get it may cause a spike electricity but shouldn't the company give residents a discount for having theirs?

    New Albany DC is not right in the backyard of the neighborhoods either. Take a look at this one - https://maps.app.goo.gl/12D3xW1iPBjKKSRXA

    Then all the others surrounding it…

      That place already had massive sound issues, it’s directly under the primary flight path for Dulles Airport and only 3 miles away.

        So let’s pile on? Also as I pointed out already, Dulles airport already existed so you knew you were getting into. Data center is being built all around your neighborhood is a complete change

          It’s not “all around” and literally less than 100 houses are impacted. It’s situated in an industrial zoning area obviously with the grouping there, so maybe the anger should go towards the zoning rules and not the datacenter itself.

              This is the funny part. People complaining about pollution and energy use, when the REAL reason is that they’re afraid of the future of the technology.

              If that’s you’re argument against it, just start with that, don’t make fake claims about noise pollution or energy use.
