My folks live on Cedar Creek Lake up there near Trinidad on the south end of the lake. My mom called me today up in arms about a data center that's going in VERY close to their house. As you can imagine there is a ton of (probably legit) fearmongering going on with water consumption and energy concerns. Their biggest concern is of course their cove drying up and their land being worth nothing, when it's all they have. Not to mention energy costs going up, as well as taxes.

They're extremely concerned, as am I. I wanted to see if anyone knew anything about those Diode data centers that are going in? I am hopeful that they will have a closed loop system and maybe it won't be the lake-drying disaster they're thinking, but I also do not trust any of these folks (or politicians) in the least. Just trying to find some facts, thanks in advance!

If anyone has knowledge on this, I'd be super interested to know as well. I live closer to Tyler, but it seems that these centers are popping up and concerns seem legit.
