In the animated film Rango, the title character confronts the mayor for secretly developing land around the desert town of Dirt to build “the future†while stealing water from longtime residents. Does this sound familiar? In ÃÛèÖÖ±²¥, Project Blue is selling us the same lies as the mayor in Rango, but with real water on the line.
The Project Blue team, including Beale Infrastructure and Blue Owl Capital, claim they will work miracles by preserving our water supply despite evaporating millions of gallons to cool their data centers. They have not provided numbers to justify this contradiction, indicating that they cannot justify it. We simply do not have enough water for large data centers in ÃÛèÖÖ±²¥. Miracles do not come from unaccountable out-of-state big tech companies making promises they've never kept.
We sadly have no gunslinging chameleon coming to save us, so call Mayor Regina Romero and your City Council members to ask them to oppose Project Blue.
