From the transcript
Um, I don't— I think the large industrial ordinance that Director Harbaugh is working on covers us really well. In terms of concerns about a data center ending up on the mainland, there's no grid over there. Whether the grid is the same either way, whether it's Papkes or here, if there's not enough electricity, it can't be done. This feels clichéd as a piece of language, but the moratorium feels like a solution in search of a problem. We don't have a problem with this right now because again, if a plan doesn't make sense for our community, It's the director's job to look after the community.
