    DATACENTERS EMPLOY HUNDREDS OF WORKERS!!!

    For a year or two, during construction. All contractors. After construction, what? Maybe a hundred people on-site?

    Why will no one think of the poor, starving, trillion dollar companies? It’s NOT FAIR that they have to pay the same amount as the POORS! /s

      Not a hundred. We’re talking a dozen on a busy day. Last time I was on-site I didn’t see another soul for hours.

        The “imaginary-never gonna happen-will use twice as much power as the state of Utah uses combined” Utah mega datacenter might, might have 100 people employed in it eventually.

        Maybe.

          Christ, Prineville

          Please tell me you’re joking. I’m sure you’re not, but it’s like slapping a Amazon Super Center in Drain.
