All these data centers already built but no meaningful solutions for important problems yet. Still no cure for cancer, no breakthroughs in solid state batteries for EV’s or motors that don’t require rare earths from China, no solutions for reducing pollution.

Amazon is also in the process of constructing a 10 mil data center in Montgomery County, Mo.
Another win for IN. Another reason we left IL for IN.
The utter futility of our elected officials

IL showed no such hesitation when it came to the failed Lion Electric company or pushed for the Chinese Communist connected Goton in Manteno, though.
Pretty sure those companies had massive contributions to Pritzker and Strattons’ campaigns. Quid pro quo nothing to see here
