I am not for giving the companies building new DC's huge tax incentives. They need to be built in places that make logical sense and have access to large amounts of power and water. As it is, there is already talk about the Colorado power grid collapsing (in the next 4 years) due to the amount of new people moving in and the popularity of EV's.

Senate Bill 280 would create a certification system that would grant tax incentives to data center builders if they meet certain benchmarks for investment and water and energy efficiency. The Data Center Development and Grid Modernization Program would both draw lucrative development to the state and ensure that the additional energy use wouldn’t affect other electric customers, its sponsors said last week during the bill’s first committee hearing. They also noted that it would establish guardrails to minimize environmental impacts.
