4/2/26 Blog: Trump Explains Iran And I'm Not Wasting Yesterday's Blog

Denver has recently implemented a year-long moratorium on new data centers, a decision the author criticizes as misguided. The ban stems from concerns over water consumption for cooling, a stance the author argues is based on ignorance given that modern data centers predominantly use closed-loop systems that require minimal water. The article highlights that this policy prevents Denver from capitalizing on the significant property tax revenues that data centers generate, citing Loudoun County, Virginia, which reportedly collects $600 million annually from its data center industry. In direct contrast to Denver's approach, Parker, a city within Douglas County, is actively preparing to host its first $192 million data center, a project anticipated to bring in approximately $4.5 million in annual property taxes.
