People living in a community in the south join the growing list of Americans who say no to a data center offered near their home.
Tarboro, in North Carolina, residents urged their municipal council to reject a proposal for a 50 acres and 300 megawatts on energy Solutions LLC, scheduled to provide 500 jobs and millions of dollars in tax revenue to the city.
“This project presents significant risks which prevail over all the potential advantages, not only for those who live nearby, but for the whole city,” wrote Cynthia Coker in a statement attached to a change.org petition that she created. “The serene environment, the character and community cohesion that we cherish in Tarboro could be considerably modified by the presence of such a massive installation.”
Coker continued by saying: “The data centers are known to consume huge quantities of electricity and water, leading to an increase in public service rates and to the exhaustion of local resources.”

“We are very aware of the environment ourselves, having been solar developers,” said Shaffer at the station, adding that the center will generate its own energy and use 500,000 gallons of water per day.
