An AI data center project for western Kansas might use less water than irrigation farming

Triple Oak Power is proposing an AI data center project in Finney County, Kansas, near Garden City, which locals are opposing due to concerns about water use, noise, and environmental impact from solar panel installation. Despite opposition and water scarcity concerns related to the Ogallala Aquifer, Finney County officials approved a special use permit for the project, which Triple Oak Power argues will use significantly less water than current irrigation farming on the same land.
