I say look to the auto industry and let data centers build if they power, cool themselves
An Ocala resident suggests that data centers should be allowed to build if they can generate their own power using micro nuclear plants and manage their own cooling with closed-loop water systems, drawing parallels to the Ford Rouge Plant's self-sufficiency. The resident states they would object to data center proposals that do not meet these self-sufficiency criteria and also emphasizes the need for rail service.
An Ocala resident expressed their opinion on data center development, advocating for self-sufficient facilities similar to the historical Ford Rouge Plant. The resident, drawing on their experience in building design, suggested that data centers should generate 125% of their own power, possibly using micro nuclear plants, and implement closed-loop water cooling systems to dissipate heat.
The individual stated they would object to any data center proposal that does not incorporate these self-sufficiency measures, also noting the importance of rail service availability. This commentary comes from an Ocala local, sharing a perspective on efficient and independent data center operations.
