Rep. Garcia Explores the Economic and Environmental Risks of AI Data Centers in South Dakota

🚨 Are AI data centers really a win for South Dakota? 🚨 In a recent interview on Northeast Radio SD, State Rep. Josephine Garcia and energy economist Curtis Jundt shed light on the realities behind the hyper-paced AI data center expansion heading for Codington County and beyond. While developers promise economic booms, the facts tell a different story: * ⚡ Grid Strain: These centers require gigawatts of power, which could drive up electricity rates for everyday residents and businesses. * 💧 Resource Drain: Millions of gallons of water from our aquifers and thousands of acres of agricultural land could be lost. * 📉 The Jobs Myth: These highly automated facilities often create only 20 to 50 permanent jobs once operational. It's time for transparency and local control. We need to pause and understand the impacts before it's too late. 🎙️ Listen to the full interview to learn more about what’s happening behind closed doors, and don't forget to vote on Tuesday, June 2! #SouthDakota #AIDataCenters #LocalPolitics #CodingtonCounty #EnergyGrid #WaterConservation #SDLeg
