Pirate Wires(@PirateWires):We followed a founder trying to build the most reasonable data center project in America: a dozen shipping container-sized boxes on a remote plot of sand in rural Colorado. No water. No noise. The local electric co-op says it'll lower power bills. You might expect the approval process to be straightforward. It wasn’t. As @JonasYDu reports: In September, over 60 residents packed a county office in rural Colorado (pop. 7,000), to question David Meyer (@thedmeyer), 29, whose startup Strata (@DeployStrata) wants to build modular data centers in neighboring Alamosa County 🧵
