Wow, this city council is bad. I'm scared for the residents. Hopefully a solution can be put in place in time.

    Indeed. How many of them are GOP?

    Interstingly, the council web page does not give any party affiliation of any of the council members.

    But most of them are lawyers or business majors. So dumb is definitely confirmed.

    They are really aiming at making CC uninhabitable. Where do they think the water will come from in a few years? From the tap, as always? Will they pray for and expect a miracle, STAT! ?

    IIRC, they are already way too late, so they should have started building that plant at least a year or two ago. What are they waiting for?

    Meanwhile this is happening. Data centers are water hogs. Desalination is very costly by the way, and will greatly raise the price of water. I think the main recourse is to call legislators and get more support for the Moratorium bill, because there is actually some sponsor support among GOPS too, and I hear that one more sponsor (?)would be enough for an immediate pause. https://datacenterpost.com/duos-edge-ai-expands-south-texas-footprint-with-corpus-christi-edge-data-center-deployment/
