    If you can 100% keep all the results of the test on your property then I’m fine with it. Since nuclear explosions are not that well controlled I’m against it but only for that reason. I miss the nuclear powerplant in my backyard, it was a quiet neighbor, but life forced me to move elsewhere.

      You’ve just completely derailed your own argument. If you don’t want nuclear explosions in the property next to you because it could affect you then you shouldn’t want to data center next to you for the same reason. It takes minimal effort to learn about how data centers affect the communities and environment surrounding them. I suggest you make that effort.

      Yea data centers also do a similar thing. They bring up the electricity price for everyone in that area, large amounts of cooling is needed which drains the local water supply. It vents out heat and noise.

      There’s not many benefits to a datacenter surprisingly for the local population. It’s not going to cause a huge boom in the local economy (all the money is going to the corporation who will in fact not pay a dime back to the locals)
