Is the County concerned about the Potter Valley dam and water shortages? Or do they want an AI data center? Are they concerned with a gas station off of 101 and traffic it may cause or do they want an AI data center clogging up our roads? Why are the SAME people concerned about the dam and water, also the same people open to having AI data centers? Why are the SAME cannabis farmers who are upset over large commercial farms, also in support of AI data centers? Please make these people's way of thinking make sense. So long as something doesn't directly affect them (visibly) they just simply don't care about the impact that it may have on another neighborhood and other community members.

For the same reasons I urged approval of the 45 day moratorium on data centers, I urge all five supervisors to support this two year urgency resolution. We know little about the environmental risks of operating data centers in rural areas. We applaud the County’s courage to stand up to this industry and say we prefer to learn more about how data centers operate in other jurisdictions and the environmental impacts before opening the County up to any development of this type. Thank you.

Thank you! What an excellent solution to the quandary of Data Centers. This ordinance allows some time to study the issue, hopefully enough, but also the flexibility to change the timing and act accordingly as more information becomes available. Your action in putting the ordinance up for a vote to protect our County's residents and make informed decisions is laudable.
