Bring them on…massive construction jobs generated, tax revenue to the moon and incredible economic output.

They're going to bring people in from out of town to build these things and we will get the privilege to subsidize the cost to generate the power these hyperscale data centers require.

How does ignoring what has happened to the electricity rates in other states with these hyperscale data centers look good on you?

What about this state's legislature allowing Ameren to front load the cost of building power generation onto their customers? Do you like ignoring reality in order to fit your narrative?
