How local government teams balance data center economic benefits against environmental costs

Our small city council commissioned a study on data center energy impact and now we're split between members who want to restrict new data centers and those who say we need the economic development. Every meeting turns into the same fight about jobs versus environment and we can't seem to find any middle ground that satisfies anyone.

More people experience this than they realize.

What we've seen

A governing body is stuck in a false choice between economic and environmental priorities, unable to find creative solutions that honor both concerns.
