Tulsa leads Oklahoma cities with the most data centers. Its plentiful resources, lower energy costs and proximity to major business hubs could be why.

Oklahoma especially Tulsa area going be fucked if we don’t put stop to these data centers. If they go through with building 27 of them in the Tulsa area alone. We can say goodbye to our drinking water, and good bye to affordable electricity.

    @Fredselfish So Lt. Gov Pinnell thinks it’s good that Oklahoma has so many windmills? That’s the “cheap” electricity he thinks we have. I don’t recall hearing his position before, but it’s certainly not a normal GOP talking point.

    And, what’s this about plenty of water? Does he not pay attention to the drought monitoring? The red flag warnings? The governor’s house burning down?

        @Fredselfish Perhaps. I suspect it’s more likely a combination of talking points and pandering. I’d like to hear his answer were someone to ask him about it in a setting where it would be difficult for him to blow them off with standard politician sidestepping. My guess is his answers would be a millimeter thick.

          Our politicians in Oklahoma do their utter best not face their constituents. They are coward trump loving bootlickers.

            @Fredselfish Were I to bet, I’d wager Oklahoma politicians don’t love our president. I see them as being more in fear of the rabid primary voters who ignorantly follow the him. The pols are ambitious cowards, political charlatans willing to say whatever is necessary to reach their goal.
